A meta-analysis of association studies was performed to assess whether the reported genetic polymorphisms in cytokine genes are risk factors for recurrent miscarriage (RM). The electronic PubMed database was searched for case-control studies on immunity-related genes in RM. Investigations of a...
- Correlation between Polymorphic Changes in the IL-10 Promoter and Pregnancy Outcome. // Fertility Weekly;11/22/2010, p6
The article discusses a study on the link of human interleukin (IL)-10 gene promoter's polymorphic changes with pregnancy outcomes. It says that the genomic DNA from the cells of women who had normal pregnancies and those who had recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) was used. It mentions various...

BACKGROUND: CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) are important for the maintenance of immune homeostasis by virtue of their ability to control T-cell proliferation in the peripheral blood (PB). We recently demonstrated that the prevalence of Tregs is decreased, whereas that of Th17 cells is...

BACKGROUND T cells which produce interleukin (IL)-17 are involved in chronic inflammatory processes and regulatory T (Treg) cells are possibly the most important immune regulators. We aimed to investigate peripheral blood IL-17+ T and Foxp3+ Treg cells in women with idiopathic recurrent...
- Greater Prevalence of DNA Damage & Poor Motility in Male Partner. // Fertility Weekly;4/16/2012, p3
The article reports on the results of a study by Sonia Brahem and colleagues which revealed that sperm from the male partner in couples with a history of recurrent miscarriage have greater risk of DNA damage and poor motility compared to sperm from fertile men. It discusses how the study was...
