Official title
Genes and Gene Polymorphisms Associated With Infertility: Utilization of DNA Characteristics to Better Understand Reproductive Competence
Overview
The purpose of this this study is to use DNA screening strategies to identify genes and localize genomic regions that are differentially expressed in patients with infertility to further understand the genetic basis for reproductive competence.
Detailed description
Experimental strategies seek to discover small variants in DNA sequences, which are associated with certain infertility parameters. The alleles being analyzed in in vitro fertilization (IVF) population are sought to be associated with functional differences in the expression of the gene product that are then mechanistically linked to infertility.
Primary outcome measures
- Number of retrieved oocytes [Time frame: 1 month]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Fertilization rate [Time frame: 1 month]
- Number of available embryos [Time frame: 1 month]
- Pregnancy rates [Time frame: 1 year]
