Abstract excerpt
Natural Killer (NK) cells have been implicated in recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). The p.Val176Phe (or Val158Phe) Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) in the FCGR3A gene encoding the FcγRIIIA or CD16a receptor has been associated with an enhanced affinity for IgG and stronger NK-mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. We hypothesized that the presence of at least one p.176Val variant associates with RPL...
