Abstract excerpt
HLA-G, a non-classical HLA molecule expressed by extravillous trophoblasts, plays a role in the maternal immune tolerance towards fetal cells. HLA-G expression is regulated by genetic polymorphisms in the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR). Low levels of HLA-G in the maternal circulation and placental tissue are linked to preeclampsia. Our objective was to investigate whether variants of the 3'UTR of the HLA-G gene...
