APCR and factor V Leiden are associated with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss. The occurrence of APCR and factor V Leiden seems to be linked to post-embryonic first-trimester as well as second-trimester recurrent pregnancy loss. The significance of acquired, non-heritable APCR in recurrent fetal loss patients, especially in the second-trimester aborters, is still to be determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
