| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The causes of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) are antiphospholipid antibodies, chromosomal balanced translocations, uterine malformations, and fetal chromosomal aneuploidy, and about 25% of them have unknown true causes of euploid fetal chromosomes. The causative gene is identified by whole-genome trio analysis of Super miscarriage patients and their parents repeated more than 10 times and mouse genome editing.
A whole exon trio analysis of five families was performed and 13-27 candidate genes were narrowed down to each patient. New mutations were confirmed in TDRD15 and RUFY3 (family 4) and in PIPTNM1 and OR9K2 (family 2). Systemic rufy3 gene-deficient mice died shortly after birth, and heterofemale mice showed no clear differences in pregnancy and childbirth compared to wild-type.
A whole genome trio analysis of three families and one new family was performed and is currently being analyzed. Research continues with additional cases.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
Super流産の原因遺伝子は各家系に共通する必要はなく、原因遺伝子を見つけることで不育症の個別化治療を模索することができる。さらにこれらの遺伝子は着床に必須の遺伝子でもあり、ヒト妊娠メカニズムの解明にもつながる。
