Abstract:
The field of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) has seen a blossoming of investigations in the etiology and treatment of this condition over the last few years. Despite all of this activity, there remains much controversy in all aspects of the field. This ranges from discrepancies in the definition of recurrent pregnancy loss to elements in the work-up and the very existence of certain conditions for which aggressive therapeutic modalities are proposed. We will discuss the genetic component of RPL which is one of the few etiologies for RPL which has achieved near universal acceptance.
