Pregnancy Success Center of the Rinehart Center for Reproductive Medicine, Chicago, IL, USA.
Problem: To be successful, pregnancy must induce its own blood supply through angiogenesis and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the best characterized regulator of angiogenesis and one polymorphism of the VEGF gene, -1154, has been suggested to be associated with recurrent spontaneous abortion. The aim of this study was to confirm or refute the relationship of VEGF -1154 to recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL).
Method Of Study: Buccal swabs were obtained from 152 women with history of two or more consecutive spontaneous abortions and 65 control women.
