Abstract

Aim. Analyze the distribution of allelic polymorphism of HLA-DRB1, DQA1, DQB1 genes and HLA-G 14-bp insertion/deletion polymorphism in women with RPL. Methods. DNA extraction, PCR, agarose gel electrophoresis. Results. A comprehensive analysis of the distribution and frequency of allelic variants of genes HLA-DRB1, HLA- DQA1, HLA-DQB1 and HLA-G 14 bp insertion/deletion polymorphism among women with RPL. Conclusions. Changes in the major hystocompatibility complex genes can cause the failure of a woman’s reproductive function and lead to an early fetal loss.
Keywords: recurrent pregnancy loss, HLA-genotyping, HLA-G 14 bp insertion/deletion polymorphism
