Human birth weight is subject to stabilizing selection; babies born too small or too large are less likely to survive. Particular combinations of maternal/fetal immune system genes are associated with pregnancies where the babies are ≤5th birth weight centile. Specifically an inhibitory maternal KIR AA genotype with a paternally derived fetal HLA-C2 ligand. We have now analysed maternal KIR and fetal HLA-C combinations at the opposite end of the birth weight spectrum. 1316 mother/baby pairs were genotyped for maternal KIR as well as fetal and maternal HLA-C. Presence of a maternal activating KIR2DS1 gene associated with increased birth weight, in linear or logistic regression analyses of all pregnancies >5th centile (p=0.005, n=1316). Effect of KIR2DS1 was most significant in pregnancies where its ligand, HLA-C2, was paternally but not maternally inherited by a fetus (p=0.005, OR=2.65). Thus maternal KIR are more frequently inhibitory with small babies but activating with big babies. At both extremes of birth weight the KIR associations occur when their HLA-C2 ligand is paternally inherited by a fetus. We conclude that the two polymorphic immune gene systems, KIR and HLA-C, contribute to successful reproduction by maintaining birth weight between two extremes with a clear role for paternal HLA.
