Women with a history of late pregnancy loss are three times more likely to carry such genetic mutations, the investigators said. Still, the jury is out on whether the benefits of anticoagulation therapy during subsequent pregnancies would override the bleeding and osteopenic risks associated with such therapy, said Dr. Ida Martinelli of the Istituto di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico, Maggiore Hospital, Milan, and associates.
