Connexin 43 (Cx43) gap junctions play an important role in development and differentiation
of endometrium and placenta. Therefore, aberrant expression of Cx43 could result in altered
physiological and pathological processes leading to recurrent early pregnancy loss (REPL).
To investigate if expression of Cx43 is effected in REPL patients as compared to controls,
Cx43 expression was compared in the chorionic villi and uterine decidua samples of 15
REPL patients and 15 induced abortion subjects as controls. Cx43 levels were evaluated …
