SummaryRecently, numerous studies have suggested an association between factor XII (FXII) deficiency and recurrent pregnancy losses, and between autoantibodies to FXII and recurrent pregnancy losses. Autoantibodies to FXII rather than FXII deficiency may be a risk factor for recurrent pregnancy losses. To know the pathogenesis of autoantibodies to FXII, epitope mapping study was done. Seventeen anti-FXII antibody positive recurrent pregnancy loss patients were chosen for this study. We used synthetic peptides in inhibition and direct binding studies to identify the antigenic binding site of autoantibodies to FXII. Among plasmas from 17 recurrent pregnancy loss patients who were positive for autoantibodies to FXII, 13 patients (76.5%) recognized amino acids 1–30, the amino-terminal heavy chain region that is known as factor XII binding site to platelet glycoprotein Ibα.

SummaryInherited and acquired thrombophilia are associated with recurrent pregnancy loss. Recently, an increased risk for thromboembolic disease was described for patients with elevated coagulation factor VIII, but it is unknown whether there is also an association to early pregnancy loss. We therefore evaluated the relation between recurrent early pregnancy loss and levels of coagulation factor VIII. We enrolled 49 unrelated Caucasian women with a history of 2 6 early pregnancy losses and 48 healthy controls, who had delivered at least one term infant and had never experienced pregnancy loss. We determined factor V Leiden-, G20210A prothrombin-, MTHFR C677Tand A1298Cgene mutations, levels of antithrombin, protein C, protein S, factor VIII, C-reactive protein and antiphospholipid antibodies. There was a significantly higher rate of pregnancy losses in women with Antiphospholipid Syndrome (p = 0.043). Furthermore, plasma levels of coagulation factor VIII were significantly higher in cases than in controls (130.5 IU/dl ± 25.4 vs 119.5 IU/dl ± 24.1; p = 0.032) and appeared independent of Creactive protein (R = 0.146, p = 0.323 in cases; R = 0.028, p = 0.850 in controls). The relative risk for recurrent pregnancy loss in women with factor VIII levels above 151 IU/dl (90th percentile of controls) was 2.5 (0.7 – 8.9, 95 percent confidence interval), for levels above 156 IU/dl (95th percentile of controls) 3.9 (0.8 – 20.0, 95 percent confidence interval). Elevated maternal plasma levels of coagulation factor VIII tend to be associated with an increased risk for recurrent early pregnancy loss.

AbstractBackground:Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a heterogeneous condition consisting of two or more consecutive abortions occurring before 20 weeks of gestation. One of the clotting factor genes encodes factor XIII (Methods:A prospective case-control study was performed on a cohort of 310 RPL patients and 290 healthy controls. DNA was extracted from the whole blood and fragments of the Val34Leu polymorphism were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), followed by DNA sequencing. Genotyping was performed using the Sequenom MassArray system.Results:The genotype frequencies ofConclusions:No significant association was observed between the Val34Leu polymorphism and RPL among Iranian Azeri women.

Objective. To evaluate factor XII levels in women with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) in a tertiary referral hospital.Methods. Women who were referred to our hospital for two consecutive abortions or three abortions in between 2007 and 2013 were included in this retrospective observational study. Women were further grouped according to factor XII levels, as <60% and ≥60%.Results. Mean factor XII level was 109.1 ± 35.7% (range: 9–200). Ninety-three (7.4%) women had factor XII levels < 60%. Mean factor XII level was 44.8 ± 13.1, and levels ranged between 9 and 60 in this group. Only one woman had factor XII level < 10 %. Remaining 1164 (92.6%) women had factor XII levels ≥ 60%. Mean factor XII level was 114.3 ± 31.7, and levels ranged between 60.3 and 200 in this group, while 1015 (72.4%) women had factor XII levels within the normal range (60%–150% [100% = 30 μg/mL]).Conclusion. Decreased activity of F-XII was diagnosed in 7.4% of women with RPL. We concluded factor XII deficiency that might be a rare but significant factor for RPL, and should be evaluated in women who are investigated for recurrent pregnancy loss.
