Abstract
In previous investigations transferrin C2 has been found to be associated with spontaneous abortion and premature birth. In a study of newborn infants from northern Sweden, no significant correlation was found between birth weight and transferrin C2 of the infants. Thus transferrin C2 appears to be associated with reproductive disturbances and with premature birth, but not with birth weight in mature infants.Keywords
