Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor gene rs1042658 variant and susceptibility to idiopathic recurrent pregnancy loss: A case-control study
Nasiri, Mahboobeh & Jahangirizadeh, Kobra
Abstract
Background: Granulocyte colony-in stimulating factor (G-CSF) gene can be a
potential candidate gene implicated recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), a common
complication of pregnancy with the prevalence of 1-5% among women of
reproductive age.
Objective: To investigate the association between rs1042658 polymorphism in the
3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of G-CSF gene and the risk of unexplained RPL
among Iranian women.
Materials and Methods: In total, 122 women with unexplained RPL and 140
healthy postmenopausal women as a control group were enrolled in this case-control
study. Tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain
reaction was performed to determine the rs1042658 genotypes in all subjects.
Results: Statistically significant differences were detected between the distribution
frequencies of both heterozygote CT, and carriage of T allele (TT+CT) genotypes of
the rs1042658 between case and control groups. Allelic association was not
observed with RPL.
Conclusion: Regarding the results of the present study, G-CSF rs1042658 gene
polymorphism could be considered as a probable risk factor for unexplained RPL
among Iranian women.
