However, no clear genetic markers of RM have yet been identified, possibly because of the complexity of interactions between paternal and maternal genes during embryo development. We propose a methodology to analyse HLA haplotypes from couples either with histories of successful pregnancies or RM. This article describes a method of RM genetic-risk calculation. The proposed HLA representation techniques allowed us to create an algorithm (IMMATCH) to retrospectively predict RM with an AUC\u2009=\u20090.71 (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.0035) thanks to high-resolution typing and the use of linear algebra on peptide binding affinity data. The algorithm features an adjustable threshold to increase either sensitivity or specificity, allowing a sensitivity of 86%. Combining immunogenetics with artificial intelligence could create personalised tools to better understand the genetic causes of unexplained infertility and a gamete matching platform that could increase pregnancy success rates.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41746-019-0089-x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,7]],"date-time":"2019-03-07T06:03:04Z","timestamp":1551938584000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Towards a gamete matching platform: using immunogenetics and artificial intelligence to predict recurrent miscarriage"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"2","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3456-714X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aldo","family":"Mora-S\u00e1nchez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9324-5717","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel-Isui","family":"Aguilar-Salvador","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Izabela","family":"Nowak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"89_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"272","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/deh078","volume":"19","author":"JX Wang","year":"2004","unstructured":"Wang, J.
