Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: Is recurrent spontaneous miscarriage (RSM) associated with changes in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) serum levels, and with polymorphisms in the VEGFA gene? SUMMARY ANSWER: Reduced serum VEGF levels, and VEGFA -460T/C (rs833061), 398G/A (rs833068), -583T/C (rs3025020) variants, were associated with RSM. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Reduced expression of VEGF has been linked with spontaneous...
