Popis: Problem Plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) regulates fibrinolysis, and the common promoter region variants −675G/A (4G/5G) and −844G/A are associated with increased thrombotic risk. Despite evidence linking altered fibrinolysis with adverse pregnancy events, including idiopathic recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), the contribution of PAI-1 variants to RPL risk remains controversial. We investigated the association between the PAI-1 −844G/A and 4G/5G (−675G/A) variants with altered risk of RPL. Method of study This was a case–control study involving 304 women with confirmed RPL and 371 age- and ethnically matched control women. PAI-1 genotyping was performed by PCR single-specific primer −675 (G/A) and real-time PCR (−844G/A) analysis. Results Minor allele frequency (MAF) of 4G/5G (P
