Popis: The human implantation failure during first trimester leads to spontaneous abortions. Spontaneous abortions are consecutive and occur twice or thrice (with or without prior live births) due to factors which are either maternal or fetal. However, it also constitutes of unknown etiology; known as unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortions (URSA). In this study, the medical terminated human normal early pregnancies (NEP) of the first trimester were taken as control samples, the normal decidual sample whose molecular and epigenetic changes were compared with that of decidua of human URSA subjects. Apoptosis-related genes reported in consecutive recurrent pregnancy loss became the basis for this study. So, in this study, we evaluated the hypothesis that “p53 methylation level through methyltransferases (G9aMT and DNMT1) implicates the fate of embryo towards sustenance or cessation of pregnancy”. Further, the interaction between P53, BAX, BCL-2, CASPASE-6, G9aMT, DNMT-1, and methylated p53 expression level(s) during the first trimester of both URSA and NEP are included in this study. The degree of p53 methylation during the first trimester is found to be significant and positively correlated with that of G9aMT (p p p p-value
