Abstract

This study was aimed to assess the association between evaluation of homocysteine level, folic acid and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase MTHFR C677T gene polymorphism and recurrent pregnancy loss RSA. Sixty four women diagnosed with RSA and 41 normal fertile female, who had at least one or more child, 21 of them were pregnant women while 20 were non-pregnant. The level of homocysteine was high in women with RSA (11.41+3.75) (p<0.05) compared to normal fertile women either pregnant (7.02+2.13) or non-pregnant (6.84+2.08), low levels of folic acid was observed (6.35+2.09) in women with RSA (p<0.05) compared to fertile women either pregnant(10.08+3.08) or non-pregnant(11.27+3.15). No statistically significant difference was observed in the distribution of genotypes between cases and controls for MTHFR polymorphism. In conclusion, the present study reveals to lack of association of MTHFR C677T polymorphism in RSA women.
