Genetic Aspects of Pregnancy Miscarriage

Abstract

Pregnancy miscarriage is a consequence of many factors. The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of miscarriage gene on embryometric, ultrasound, hormonal, immunological parameters in pregnant women, and to evaluate its prognostic value. The main group includes 31 pregnant women who had clinical signs of miscarriage in current or previous pregnancy. The control group consists of 32 healthy pregnant women whose clinical-paraclinical parameters served as a control to compare the data of the pregnancy survey of the main surveillance group. A general clinical examination and a special obstetrical examination (complaints, anamnesis, general medical examination, obstetric examination), biochemical studies (determination of hormones of the fetoplacental complex in blood serum of pregnant women), ultrasound, immunological studies, histological studies of the placenta, molecular genetic study A1166C polymorphism of the AGTR1 gene were made. In the course of the research, the genetic determinism of miscarriage was discovered. The polymorphism of the A1166C of the AGTR1 gene was considered as a prognostic marker of miscarriage in early gestational term and preeclampsia in the second half of pregnancy. A reliable marker of abortion was the maternal genotype 1166AC for the genome AGTR1. The risk of occurrence of clinical manifestations of abortion increased five times. At simultaneous influence of all prognostic factors the risk of abortion increased 6,25 times. Detection of genetic markers of pregnancy miscarriage will allow early correction of this pathology and prevent perinatal loss.
