Background: Thrombophilia or the tendency for thrombosis has been linked to pregnancy complications, which include fetal growth restriction. The aim of the present study was to determine the association of maternal thrombophilias with unexplained fetal growth restriction.
Methods: Inherited and acquired thrombophilias were checked in 34 women whose pregnancies were complicated by fetal growth restriction and 68 women with normal growth fetuses as controls, 8-10 weeks postpartum.
