The effects of swine leukocyte antigen (SLA) molecules on numerous production and reproduction performance traits have been mainly reported as associations with specific SLA haplotypes that were assigned using serological typing methods. In this study, we intended to clarify the association between SLA class II genes and reproductive traits in a highly inbred population of 187 Microminipigs (MMP), that have eight different types of SLA class II haplotypes. In doing so, we compared the reproductive performances, such as fertility index, gestation period, litter size, and number of stillbirth among SLA class II low resolution haplotypes (Lrs) that were assigned by a polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP) typing method. Only low resolution haplotypes were used in this study because the eight SLA class II high-resolution haplotypes had been assigned to the 14 parents or the progenitors of the highly inbred MMP herd in a previous publication. The fertility index of dams with Lr-0.13 was significantly lower than that of dams with Lr-0.16, Lr-0.17, Lr-0.18, or Lr-0.37. Dams with Lr-0.23 had significantly smaller litter size at birth than those with Lr-0.17, Lr-0.18, or Lr-0.37. Furthermore, litter size at weaning of dams with Lr-0.23 was also significantly smaller than those dams with Lr-0.16, Lr-0.17, Lr-0.18, or Lr-0.37. The small litter size of dams with Lr-0.23 correlated with the smaller body sizes of these MMPs. These results suggest that SLA class II haplotypes are useful differential genetic markers for further haplotypic and epistatic studies of reproductive traits, selective breeding programs, and improvements in the production and reproduction performances of MMPs.

Human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G) is observed in immune system cells and other organs. It is a class Ib molecule, which plays a pivotal role in the implantation and maintenance of pregnancy. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between serum sHLA-G levels and the HLA-G allele in parental pairs with complicated obstetric histories. The clinical material consisted of 210 women and 190 men with the experience of a complicated or an unsuccessful pregnancy. The control group included parents―89 women and 86 men―lacking complicated obstetric histories. We applied genetic analysis methods: isolation of genomic DNA, sequencing, and determination of serum sHLA-G levels. There were no statistically significant differences in the frequencies of the HLA-G −725 C>G polymorphism between particular experimental groups compared with the control group (p > 0.05). The median sHLA-G levels in the women with the HLA-G10101 allele (15.4 U/mL) were significantly higher than in the women with other alleles (p < 0.05). The HLA-G 10101 allele seems to protect against antiphospholipid syndrome, which may be associated with increased serum sHLA-G levels in its carriers. The relationship between serum sHLA-G levels and the HLA-G polymorphisms in the Polish population requires further investigation.
