Abstract excerpt
HLA-G expressed by trophoblasts at the fetal-maternal interface and its soluble form have immunomodulatory effects. HLA-G expression depends on the combination of DNA polymorphisms. We hypothesized that combinations of specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 3'untranslated region (3'UTR) of HLA-G play a role in unexplained recurrent miscarriage. In a case control design, 100 cases with at least...
