Abstract
Introduction. Miscarriage remains a significant problem in modern obstetrics, affecting 10-25% of all pregnancies. Cell adhesion molecules play a key role in the reproductive cycle, and their changes can lead to reproductive pathologies.
Aim: to study the association of the rs6131 (1057C>T, S290N) polymorphism of the SELP gene with the risk of miscarriage in the first trimester in women of the Rostov region.
Methods. The study used DNA samples obtained from the blood of 114 women (59 – control group – women with a physiological course of pregnancy, 55 – women with miscarriage (25 – with spontaneous abortion, 30 – with an undeveloped pregnancy)). DNA was isolated by thermocoagulation; nucleotide substitutions were determined by allele-specific PCR.
Results. The frequency of homozygotes for the C allele was 66.1% in the control group and 60% in the miscarriage group. The frequency distribution of genotypes and alleles according to rs6131 did not differ between the groups of women (p > 0.05).
Conclusions. The rs6131 polymorphism is not associated with a change in the risk of miscarriage in the first trimester.
