Due to the role of human platelets antigen 1 (HPA-1) and fibrinogen \u03b2 chain (FGB) as critical players in the coagulation process, their most important variants including rs5918 T &gt; C and rs1800790 G &gt; A were selected to be studied in women affected by RPL. Three milliliters of peripheral blood were drawn from 110 women with history of at least two consecutive spontaneous abortion and 110 healthy women controls. rs5918 T &gt; C and rs1800790 G &gt; A of HPA-1 and FGB genes, respectively, were selected to be analyzed through polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR_RFLP) following DNA isolation using QIAamp DNA Blood Mini Kit. Heterozygote genotype (TC) of HPA-1 gene rs5918 polymorphism was significantly associated with risk of RPL (p-value = 0.02). Although, rs1800790 G &gt; A of FGB gene was not associated with RPL, its combination with rs5918 polymorphism was associated with increased risk of RPL. Owing to the critical roles of FGB and HPA-1 genes in coagulation, and thrombosis and several confinements on the meaningful association between the combination of those polymorphism with risk of RPL, including them in the thrombophilia panel may increase detection rate of hereditary thrombophilia patients. However, further studies with larger sample sizes are required to shed light on the exact role of the studied gene polymorphism, especially rs1800790 G &gt; A of FGB gene variant in pathogenesis of RPL.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medsci6040098","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,31]],"date-time":"2018-10-31T11:55:41Z","timestamp":1540986941000},"page":"98","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Investigating Association of rs5918 Human Platelets Antigen 1 and rs1800790 Fibrinogen \u03b2 Chain as Critical Players with Recurrent Pregnancy Loss"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9590-754X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fatemeh","family":"Karami","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Genetics, Applied Biophotonics Research Center, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran 1477893855, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maliheh","family":"Askari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, School of Basic Sciences, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran 1477893855, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammad Hossein","family":"Modarressi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Genetics, Applied Biophotonics Research Center, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran 1477893855, Iran"},{"name":"Department of Medical Genetics, School of Medicine, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran 1417653761, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"320","DOI":"10.1097\/AOG.0b013e31817e8acc","article-title":"Inherited thrombophilia and pregnancy complications revisited","volume":"112","author":"Rodger","year":"2008","journal-title":"Obstet.
