Added comment: Multiple papers reported recurrent male miscarriages in different families:
i) PMID: 28833278- hemizygous truncating variant (p.D303fs*87) in a most recent male IUFD fetus (hydrops fetalis and fetal death around 18 GA weeks) in a family with recurrent IUFD of 19 males in total occurred at ≤20 weeks of gestation, and the same variant was carried by all five healthy obligatory female carriers. Recent studies involving patients with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortions have demonstrated that downregulation of Treg cells may be due to a significant decrease in the expression of the FOXP3 gene due to epigenetic suppression of FOXP3 through promoter methylation, thus increasing the risk for IUFD (PMID: 27785899)

ii) PMID: 25546394- Two unrelated families with clear evidence of fetal-onset IPEX syndrome (Family 1 had a family history of five miscarriages of males in two generations, positive for hemizygous p.R397W, family 2 with first two males died prematurely after birth and miscarriage of two monochorionic male twins, positive for hemizygous truncating variant (p.S107Nfs*204).

iii) PMID: 26395338- A family with the loss of two male fetuses as a result of fetal hydrops of unknown etiology due to novel nonsense variant (p.R337*).

iv)PMID: 26387632- The same p.R337* in an unrelated family with multiple male miscarriages occurring around 18 to 20 weeks of EGA and associated with hydrops fetalis and fetal akinesia.

v) PMID: 26009232- A family with two miscarriages and three early IUFDs of male fetuses with hemizygous missense variant (p.L345F).
