A protein involved in immune response could be a possible marker to identify women at high risk of having a miscarriage, Australian scientists said on Friday. Miscarriage occurs in about 10-15 percent of pregnancies, usually in the first 12 weeks. There is no treatment to prevent it or to predict if it will occur. But researchers at Monash University, Victoria, Australia think levels of a protein known as MIC 1 could hold clues about predicting and possibly preventing miscarriage.
