Methods
We conducted a pilot WGS study of four families with recurrent pregnancy loss, including parents, healthy live births, and losses, which included an embryonic loss (<10 weeks’ gestation), fetal deaths (10-20 weeks’ gestation) and stillbirths (≥ 20 weeks’ gestation). We used the Illumina platform for WGS and state-of-the-art protocols to identify single nucleotide variants (SNVs) following various modes of inheritance.
