Abstract excerpt
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) degrade extracellular matrix proteins and are important for placenta formation during early pregnancy. Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is associated with abnormalities in endometrial extracellular matrix remodeling. This study aimed to elucidate the roles of MMP2 and MMP9 in RPL pathogenesis. In total, 295 women with a history of RPL and 101 controls were included in this genetic...
