Abstract:
Objective:To investigate if DQB1 promotor allele polymorphism is associated with the susceptibility to unexplained habitual abortion (UHA).Methods:Polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific oligonucleotide (PCR-SSO) genotyping method was performed to detect HLA-DQB1 promotor (QBP) alleles in 32 cases of unexplained habitual abortion and 53 women with normal pregnancy history.Results:The frequency of QBP alleles was not different between two groups. The frequency of QBP6 2-DQB1*0604/0605 haplotype was 12 5% in patients group and 2 83% in control group, which got statistical significance. Meanwhile, six new haplotypes were first observed in Chinese population.Conclusion:No direct association was found between QBP polymorphism and UHA, but QBP-DQB1 haplotype might play a role in the susceptibility to UHA.
