The pregnancy outcomes included 95 elective pregnancy terminations and 59 continuing pregnancies. Of these, twelve (20%) ended in a spontaneous pregnancy loss, or miscarriage.

They are composed of four different chemical bases–adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). These bases are arranged like words in a sentence and the specific order of these four bases provide the instructions that a cell needs to form a protein. FGFR (fibroblast growth factor receptor) genes provide the instruction for the formation of a cell receptor. Every cell in the body has an outer layer called a cell membrane that serves as a filter. Substances are transported into and out of the cells by receptors located on the surface of the cell membrane.
