“…However, genotype 2/2 of IL1RN polymorphism was significantly more frequent in patients who presented multiple losses. Some other functional polymorphisms in inflammatory candidate genes were also analyzed: IL2 (Campos et al, 2005a), IL6 (Campos et al, 2005a;Melo et al, 2011), and TNFA (Campos et al, 2004;Cury et al, 2007;Cury et al, 2009) (Table 1). Also, genes involved in the regulation of ECM such as TGFB1 (Santos et al, 2004a), MMP1 (Leite et al, 2008;Santos et al, 2004b) and MMP9 (Santos et al, 2004b) have been investigated (Table 1).…”
