Abstract excerpt
Protein Z-dependent protease inhibitor (ZPI) is a 72 kDa single-chain serpin which inhibits the activated coagulation factors X and XI. Two non-sense polymorphisms of ZPI, R67X and W303X, were recently identified, and were linked with a prothrombotic state. Here, we investigated the association of the R67X (728C>T) and W303X (1438G>A) variants in the ZPI gene with recurrent spontaneous miscarriage (RSM). This was...
