Lack of influence of maternal and fetal transferrin phenotypes and concentrations on normal fetal growth.
Influence of maternal and fetal transferrin types and concentrations on the fetal growth has been investigated in 1,174 normal full-term singleton newborns, including 352 mother-newborn pairs. No significant effect of these parameters was observed on the weight and length of the newborns. Newborn plasma transferrin concentration was not correlated with maternal plasma transferrin concentration.
