Abstract:
Objective To explore the relationship between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677C ＞ T and unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (URPL).Methods All patients were recruited from the outpatient department of Obstetrics/Gynaecology & Genetics of Hangzhou First People's Hospital from January 2013 to May 2014.A case-control study was performed.According to the stochastic indicator method,there were 125 subjects with a history of ≥2 times URPL as the case group,and 905 healthy parous women with no history of URPL as the control group.Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to detect the distributions of the polymorphisms of MTHFR 677C ＞ T,and the results were validated using oligo-chip and direct sequencing.Results The allele and genotype frequencies of MTHFR were 60.0％ for C,40.0％ for T,32.0％ for CC,56.0％ for CT,and 12.0％ for TT in the case group and 67.4％ for C,32.6％ for T,41.4％ for CC,52.0％ for CT,and 6.6％ for TT in the control group,respectively.The prevalence of allele T was significantly higher in the case group than in the control group (OR =1.379,95％ CI =1.051-1.808,P =0.020),the frequency of genotype TT was also significantly higher in the case group than in the control group (OR =2.344,95％ CI =1.220-4.503,P =0.009).Conclusion The fertile women with MTHFR 677T allele and 677TT genotype may be susceptibility to URPL in a Chinese Han population from the Hangzhou area.
