Examining the association between fetal<i>HLA-C</i>, maternal<i>KIR</i>haplotypes and birth weight

2025-04-10

Abstract excerpt

Human birth weight is under stabilizing selection, seeking balance between extremes of high and low, thereby reducing fetal and maternal perinatal mortality risk. Certain combinations of maternal killer immunoglobulin-like receptor ( KIR ) and paternally derived fetal human leuokocyte antigen-C ( HLA-C ) alleles were previously associated with higher risk of high and low birth weight in a study with limited sample...
