Soluble HLA-G levels in seminal plasma are associated with HLA-G 3'UTR genotypes and haplotypes.


ABSTRACT: Soluble HLA-G (sHLA-G) levels in human seminal plasma (SP) can be diverse and may affect the establishment of maternal-fetal tolerance and thereby the outcome of pregnancy. We investigated whether sHLA-G levels in SP are associated with polymorphisms in the 3'-untranslated region (UTR) and UTR haplotypes of the HLA-G gene. Furthermore, we compared the HLA-G genotype distribution and sHLA-G levels between men, whose partner experienced unexplained recurrent miscarriage (RM), and controls. Soluble HLA-G levels (n = 156) and HLA-G genotyping (n = 176) were determined in SP samples. The concentration of sHLA-G was significantly associated with several single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): the 14 base pair (bp) insertion/deletion (indel), +3010, +3142, +3187, +3196, and?+?3509. High levels of sHLA-G were associated with UTR-1 and low levels with UTR-2, UTR-4, and UTR-7 (P
