Abstract

Introduction: Several analysis for different population conclude that endothelial plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 gene polymorphism, -675 ID, 4G/5G PAI-1 (ref SNP ID: rs1799889, also described as rs34857375, has merged into rs1799762) may increase risk of pregnancy loss (PL). However, there is a disagreement as to the association 4G allele with pregnancy loss. Aim: Therefore, we decided to investigate the -675 ID, 4G/5G PAI-1 as a potential genetic factor linked to PL in European and worldwide populations. A systematic review of the scientific literature was conducted with the use of the PubMed and Scopus electronic databases (1991-present), using the following search terms: pregnancy loss, miscarriage, genetic risk of thrombophilia, rs1799889 PAI-1 gen, 4G/5G PAI-1 gene polymorphism, PAI-1 gene locus 4G/5G polymorphism. Results: Among European populations, the statistically significant association between 4G allele and recurrent PL only in Czechs and Bulgarian women was found (p

Key words: pregnancy loss, genetic risk, polymorphism, PAI-1 gene.
