Recurrent miscarriage affects 1-2% of couples trying to conceive, and is idiopathic in nearly half. Female fertility is controlled by the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis and we hypothesize that genetic polymorphisms affecting the function of genes involved in regulating the HPO axis will be associated with recurrent miscarriage.
