| Research Abstract |
We purposed to identify the genes for habitual abortion. We performed array analyses for 6 couples and their parents, and identified 49 loci with copy number change less than 10kb (Table 1). We focused six loci among them because of existence of candidate genes and reevaluate the copy number using real time PCR. Two loci, locus1 : 47kb deletion on 8p23.1 and locus2 : 100kb deletion on 4q22.2, were confirmed as deletion. Because the locus1 found in family3 have been reported as copy number variant, we judged locus1 was not responsible for habitual abortion. Locus2 found in family6 contains glutamate receptor delta-2 (GRID2). The GRID2 could related to the neuronal function, but not to fetal or to placental development. We also judged locus2 was not responsible for habitual abortion.
