INTRODUCTION

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that could increase the risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes in affected women because of the associated hypercoagulability [1]. The SLE exacerbations, active SlE at conception, presence of anti-phospholipid antibodies, lupus nephritis and hypertension have been reported as important risk factors for obstetric complications [2,3]. However, the role of genetically determined thrombophilias for women with SLE has not yet been completely clarified. A well-known prothrombotic factor is the single nucleotide substitution in the factor V gene (rs6025, G>A substitution at nucleotide position 1691), which encodes a resistant to activated protein C molecule (Factor V Leiden) [4]. Other common thrombophilias include a prothrombin gene G20210A variant (rs1799963) that has been associated with elevated prothrombin activity as well as C>T transition at base pair 677 of the methylenetetrahydrofolate re-ductase (MTHFR) gene (rs1801133) (CC, CT and TT genotypes), which has been related to increased plasma homocysteine levels [5,6]. Several studies have investigated the influence of Factor V Leiden and prothrombin G20210A polymorphisms on thrombosis prevalence in lupus patients [7-12]. Additionally, some authors discuss the presence of recurrent miscarriages and fetal losses in SLE women with inherited thrombophilias [8,11], but no definitive conclusions occur. The present study aimed to investigate associations between the reproductive history of women with lupus and the common thrombophilic polymorphisms including Factor V Leiden (FVleiden), prothrombin G20210A (FII) and MTHFR C677T.
