Relationship Between Polymorphism of Thrombin-Activatable Fibrinolysis Inhibitor Gene +1040C/T and a Cohort of Chinese Women With Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion
The balance between coagulation and fibrinolysis is essential for a successful pregnancy. This study aimed to explore the genetic variant of +1040C/T in the coding region of thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) gene in women with recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) and in unrelated he...

Sumario: | The balance between coagulation and fibrinolysis is essential for a successful pregnancy. This study aimed to explore the genetic variant of +1040C/T in the coding region of thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) gene in women with recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) and in unrelated healthy controls and to investigate the possible association between TAFI +1040C/T polymorphism and RSA. Peripheral blood samples were collected from 137 Chinese patients with RSA and 103 unrelated healthy Chinese controls. The TAFI +1040C/T polymorphism was analyzed using SNaPshot SNP typing after DNA extraction. The frequency of the C allele was lower in RSA patients compared with the controls (0.78 vs 0.84). A subanalysis of the TAFI +1040C/T polymorphism in the 2 populations of RSA women (groups 2RSA and >2RSA) showed that the +1040CT genotype was significantly higher and the +1040CC genotype was significantly lower than from that found in controls. The allele +1040C was associated with a reduced risk of RSA in both group 2RSA (OR = 0.418, 95%CI, 0.255-0.685) and group >2RSA (OR = 0.473, 95%CI, 0.274-0.819) compared with controls. Our data indicate a protective role for TAFI +1040C allele against RSA, and may be associated with the genetic susceptibility of RSA. |
