In a study of 81 pregnant mothers and their newborn infants the maternal serum transferrin concentration at about 24 weeks of gestation was shown to have a low but significant correlation with infant birth weight (r=0.33; P<0.01). Maternal undernutrition is suggested as a possible cause of low serum transferrin levels.
在一项针对81名孕妇及其新生儿的研究中，结果显示，妊娠约24周时孕妇血清转铁蛋白浓度与婴儿出生体重呈低水平但显著的相关性（r = 0.33；P < 0.01）。孕妇营养不足被认为是血清转铁蛋白水平低的一个可能原因。
