After adjustment for known confounders such as age, BMI and smoking, the association between homozygous A/A (AOR 1.63, 95% CI 1.01 - 2.64, p = 0.045) and G/G (AOR 1.52, 95% CI 1.02 - 2.27, p = 0.039) carriers of SNP rs 4704397 in PDE8B and recurrent miscarriage remained. This evidence concerns the gene PDE8B and spontaneous abortion.
