Abstract excerpt
The placenta mediates fetal growth, and its development and function are influenced by immune interactions at the maternal-fetal interface. The cysteine-cysteine chemotactic cytokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) gene codes for a pro-inflammatory protein receptor expressed in the placenta on syncytiotrophoblasts and Hofbauer cells. Associations of the placental-fetal genotype at CCR5 and birth outcomes have not been...
