One of the major problems in IVF is the poor response of the ovary to gonadotropins. ESRI and FSHR are two effective genes on controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH).
OBJECTIVES:
Evaluating the correlation of alleles and genotypes of polymorphism (-29G/A) located in the FSH receptor gene and polymorphism (XbaI G/A) located in Estrogen receptor genes with the ovary’s response would help to anticipate the results of ovulation in IVF cycles.
METHODS:
In the present study, two hundred (200) blood samples were taken from infertile women aged 20 to 39 who were under IVF therapy. After DNA extraction from the samples, real-time PCR was performed using a specific probe-primer.
RESULTS:
Statistical analysis revealed that the frequency of alleles and genotypes of polymorphisms (-29G/A) and (XbaI A/G) in women with normal to poor response did not have significant correlation.
