Factor V Leiden Mutation and Implantation Failure

August 8, 2011 updated by: University of Pennsylvania

Evaluation of the Role of Factor V Leiden Mutation in Implantation Failure

The purpose of this study is to determine whether inherited thrombophilias (tendency toward blood clotting) increase the risk of failure of the embryo to implant in IVF. The specific condition to be studied is the presence or absence of the Leiden mutation of the Factor V gene.
