Abstract
Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class III located complement C4 and steroid 21‐hydroxylase (21OH) genes, which form various deletion and duplication units, were studied by Taq I Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) in 58 Finnish couples who suffered recurrent spontaneous abortions (RSA). The gene rearrangements found in the RSA couples did not differ from those in the controls.Keywords
