Glycoprotein VI Gene Variants Affect Pregnancy Loss in Patients With Platelet Hyperaggregability

Abstract: The aim of our study was to evaluate GP6 gene in patients with sticky platelet syndrome (SPS) and fetal loss. Platelet aggregability was tested with platelet-rich plasma using PACKS-4 aggregometer (Helena Laboratories). High-resolution melting analysis on LightCycler 480 II (Roche Diagnostics) was used for single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping. We examined 64 patients with SPS and 54 control participants. We found significantly higher occurrence of 5 SNPs in patients with SPS versus controls (rs16711… Show more

“…It is possible that some hypercoagulation conditions may lead to arterial thrombosis, which may result in uteroplacental thrombosis and obstetric complications. However, the exact mechanism is unknown (31). Thus, in our study, the expression of platelet miR-96 in young SPS women with recurrent fetal losses was found to be almost twice as high as that found in controls.…”

“…The authors recognized that the differences in genes associated with platelet receptors may alter the platelet reactivity and may change the efficacy of platelet inhibitors [ 22 ]. In another 12-year prospective study [ 23 ], the authors evaluated the variability of the GPVI gene in a group of patients with sticky platelet syndrome manifested as miscarriage. The authors determined the relationship between 15 selected SNPs of the GP6 gene in the studied syndrome compared to the control participants.…”

“…Interestingly, the importance of the genetic diversity of the GP6 gene for platelet aggregation was highlighted by a genome-wide meta-analysis conducted by Johnson et al [ 20 ]. Moreover, a previous study identified several SNPs (rs1671153, rs1654419, and rs1613662) in patients with sticky platelet syndrome (SPS) [ 21 ] and a history of miscarriage (rs1671152, rs1654433, rs1613662, rs1654416, and rs2304167) [ 22 ]. In addition to their normal role in hemostasis, platelets can cause arterial thrombosis by blocking the collateral arteries after a collagen-rich atherosclerotic plaque has ruptured, resulting in heart attack and stroke [ 23 ].…”
