- Abstract
Objective: To compare single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 3′-untranslated region (3′UTR) of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G in placentas between spontaneous preterm birth and preeclampsia pregnancies. Results: Placental samples matched for gestational age were obtained from 20 cases of spontaneous preterm births and 19 cases of preeclampsia. Genomic deoxyribonucleic acid was extracted from placenta tissue and the 3′UTR region of HLA-G was amplified via polymerase chain reaction. Nine SNPs were analyzed by direct Sanger sequencing. There was no significant difference in gestational age at delivery or birth weight between two groups. And there were no significant differences in the allele and phenotype frequencies between two groups.
