To our knowledge, this is the first study showing that the MTHFR C677T TT genotype and T allele are associated with severe intervillous and decidual pathologies in patients with pregnancy loss. Differences in pathologic grades of MTHFR C677T TT genotype could support the hypothesis that further periconceptional treatment for pregnancy loss could be customized depending on single nucleotide polymorphisms.
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.
