    Mothers with a history of spontaneous abortion showed a higher frequency of the transferrin C2 gene and type. This C2 type correlated with placental alkaline phosphatase variant F, also linked to spontaneous abortion.

    Area of Science:

    • Genetics
    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Spontaneous abortion is a significant concern in reproductive health.
    • Transferrin C subtypes are genetic markers that may influence pregnancy outcomes.
    • Previous research linked placental alkaline phosphatase variant F to spontaneous abortion.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the association between transferrin C subtypes and spontaneous abortion.
    • To explore correlations between transferrin C subtypes and other genetic markers.
    • To understand potential mechanisms underlying intrauterine selection.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of transferrin C subtypes in mothers with a history of spontaneous abortion.
    • Examination of correlations with various genetic markers including ABO and Rh blood groups, Hp, Gc, and placental alkaline phosphatase.

  • Assessment of associations with pregnancy zone protein (PZ), red cell acid phosphatase, and birth weight.

    • Main Results:

    • An increased frequency of the transferrin C2 gene and C2 type was observed in mothers with spontaneous abortions.
    • A significant correlation was found between maternal transferrin C2 type and placental alkaline phosphatase variant F.
    • No associations were identified with ABO and Rh blood groups, Hp and Gc serum groups, PZ, red cell acid phosphatase, or birth weight.

    Conclusions:

    • The transferrin C2 subtype may be a genetic factor associated with spontaneous abortion.
    • The correlation with placental alkaline phosphatase variant F suggests a potential biological link.
    • Immunological incompatibility is considered an unlikely mechanism for the observed intrauterine selection.
