Abstract excerpt
HLA-G is a class I gene that is expressed in the extravillous cytotrophoblast. Although the function of this gene is still unknown, its expression at the maternal-fetal interface suggests that HLA-G may play a key role in the induction of tolerance during pregnancy. Preliminary to our studies of the effects of HLA-G polymorphisms on pregnancy outcome, we have defined HLA-G alleles in the Hutterites. We report...
