Risk Factors of Thrombophilia-Related Mutations for Early and Late Pregnancy Loss.

Background and Objectives: This retrospective cohort study investigates the role of genetic thrombophilia in pregnant women experiencing early pregnancy loss compared to those with late pregnancy loss. Materials and Methods: Participants were categorized into early and late pregnancy loss groups based on gestational age. A total of 156 patients were included, out of which 103 had early-trimester pregnancy losses and 96 had multiple miscarriages. Results: The study revealed a synergistic effect of Factor V Leiden (FVL G1691A) and Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR C677T) mutations (coefficient 3.42). Prothrombin (PT) G20210A and β-Fibrinogen 455 G>A mutations exhibited a significant interaction (coefficient 1.98). Additionally, MTHFR A1298C and Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 (PAI-1 4G/5G) mutations showed a significant interaction (coefficient 1.65). FVL G1691A and Endothelial Protein C Receptor (EPCR) allele A1/A2 mutations also demonstrated a significant association (coefficient 2.10). Lastly, MTHFR C677T and Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa T1565C mutations interacted significantly (coefficient 1.77). Risk factor analysis identified several mutations associated with early pregnancy loss, including PAI-1 4G/5G homozygous (OR 3.01), FVL G1691A heterozygous (OR 1.85), and MTHFR A1298C heterozygous (OR 1.55). Both homozygous and heterozygous MTHFR C677T mutations were significant risk factors (OR 2.38; OR 2.06), as was PT G20210A homozygous mutation (OR 1.92). The PAI-1 4G/4G homozygous variant posed a risk (OR 1.36). Late pregnancy loss was associated with MTHFR A1298C homozygous mutation (OR 3.79), β-Fibrinogen 455 G>A heterozygous mutation (OR 2.20), and MTHFR A1298C heterozygous mutation (OR 2.65). Factor XIII G1002T heterozygous mutation (OR 1.18) and PAI-1 4G/5G homozygous mutation (OR 2.85) were also significant risk factors. EPCR allele A1/A2 (OR 1.60) and A2/A3 (OR 1.73) mutations were identified as significant risk factors for late pregnancy loss. Furthermore, FVL G1691A homozygous mutation, PT G20210A homozygous mutation, MTHFR C677T heterozygous mutation, MTHFR A1298C heterozygous mutation, and EPCR allele A1/A2 were identified as significant risk factors for multiple miscarriage. Conclusions: This study highlights significant interactions and risk factors related to genetic thrombophilia mutations in different types of pregnancy loss, contributing valuable insights for miscarriage management guidelines.
