Background: Reduced Folate Carrier/SLC19A1
SLC19A1 is a transmembrane transporter that is involved in the regulation of intracellular concentrations of folate. There is an association between idiopathic recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) and 3 SLC19A1 polymorphisms that may be useful biomarkers for RSA risk. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
