HLA-sharing, recurrent spontaneous abortion, and the genetic hypothesis.

چکیده
A number of studies indicates that there is a high sharing of HLA antigens in couples having recurrent spontaneous abortions. The genetic hypothesis to explain this phenomenon suggests that this fetal loss results from homozygosity of recessive lethal or deleterious alleles in gametic disequilibrium with HLA antigens. Theory predicting the lethality rate is derived when antigens are shared at one, two or three loci, given that the disequilibrium is absolute. In addition, the effects of partial disequilibrium, inbreeding, and segregation distortion on the lethal proportion are examined.

Background & Objective: Unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) is defined as an unknown cause of occurrence of three or more clinically detectable pregnancy losses before 20 weeks of gestation, but it occurs presumably as a result of the immune system dysfunctions. We supposed that the disruption of semen or spermatozoa might be responsible for the dysfunction of the...

Background: Miscarriage is a common phenomenon complicating more than half of pregnancies.

It is believed that abnormality in maternal immune reaction to fetus and sharing of HLA antigens might be associated with RPL. Objective: To investigate the effect of HLA-DRB1 sharing betwee...
