Cytokines and immuno-endocrine factors in recurrent miscarriage

Hum Reprod Update. 1996 Nov-Dec;2(6):469-81. doi: 10.1093/humupd/2.6.469.

Abstract

Recurrent miscarriage remains an enigma. The main aetiologies are endocrinological, immunological and unexplained. With the growth in molecular biology, it is now possible to look at the effect of these aetiologies in more detail, allowing greater understanding of the underlying pathogenesis.
