ACP1 (low molecular weight acid phosphatase) genetic polymorphism has been studied in 173 women with a history of two or more consecutive spontaneous abortions and in 1508 control subjects, including 482 normal pregnant women. The proportion of carriers of ACP1*C allele (*A/ *C, *B/*C) in women with a history of repeated spontaneous abortion is lower than in normal pregnant women and other control groups. Women with repeated spontaneous abortion show a specific decrease of ACP1 S isoform concentration as compared to normal pregnant women. The other component of ACP1 activity, the F isoform, does not show a significant difference between the two groups. The data suggest that women with ACP1 genotypes showing a high concentration of S isoform are relatively 'protected' against spontaneous abortion. Preliminary analysis of a sample of 352 normal puerperae along with their newborn babies supports this hypothesis. |
