Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Studies
We are currently recruiting participants for two ongoing studies into genetics of recurrent pregnancy loss.
1. A study of the association of genetic thrombophilic polymorphisms with recurrent pregnancy loss (recurrent abortions/still births)
2. Role of Y-chromosome microdeletions in recurrent pregnancy loss and male factor subfertility.
Investigators:
Prof. Rohan W Jayasekara
Dr. Vajira H. W. Dissanayake
Dr. Prabha H Andraweera
Dr. Kalum Wettasinghe
Eligibility for Recruitment:
Sinhalese women with three or more recurrent pregnancy losses with no living children and their husbands are eligible to participate in these studies.
The first study examines genetic thrombophilias associated with recurrent pregnancy loss and the second study examines the role of Y chromosome microdeletions in recurrent pregnancy loss.
If you are Sinhalese and you have had three recurrent miscarriages, and you and/or your husband are interested in participating in these studies then please email office@hgucolombo.org or call 011 2689545.
