%X Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is diagnosed when pregnancy failure occurs after 2 consecutive in vitro fertilization¨Cembryo transfers (IVF-ET) to the endometrium using at least 4 high-quality embryos. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small noncoding RNA and reported to play an important role in cell proliferation as well as implantation process. Recently, it has been reported that miRNA can regulate RIF occurrence. So, we were to examine the association between the specific miRNA polymorphisms and RIF in Korean women. Genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction¡ªrestriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay to determine the frequency of the following polymorphisms: miR-605A>G, miR-608G>C, miR-631I>D, miR-938C>T, and miR-1302-3C>T. Our results demonstrate a decreased incidence of RIF in patients with the miR-1302-3C>T polymorphism (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 0.234; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.089-0.618; P = .003). Based on our allele combination analysis, the C-T (miR-938/miR-1302-3: OR = 0.259; 95% CI, 0.100-0.674; P = .003) allele was also associated with decreased RIF risk. From our interaction analysis with miR-1302-3, the miR-1302-3CC genotype (AOR = 43.332; 95% CI, 5.576-336.745) showed an association with RIF prevalence in participants with an activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ¡Ü22.6. We found that the miR-1302-3C>T polymorphism is significantly associated with RIF development in Korean women. Specifically, our study suggests that the T allele of miR-1302-3 may decrease the risk of RIF in Korean women
