Protein Z levels and unexplained fetal losses.
We evaluated protein Z plasma levels in a group of women with fetal losses (n = 124) and compared them with those in a group of women (n = 60) with uneventful pregnancies. We found that protein Z deficiency is not associated with otherwise unexplained fetal losses.
