The genetic predispositions to venous thrombosis such as factor V Leiden (FVL) mutation (Arg 506 Gln), prothrombin (FII) gene mutation (G20210A), and mutation of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene (C677T) have been reported to be associated with recurrent pregnancy loss. This paper examines the prevalence of markers for genetic thrombophilias in women with recurrent miscarriage.
