Study of Gene Associations and Infertility

Genes and Gene Polymorphisms Associated With Infertility: Utilization of DNA Characteristics to Better Understand Reproductive Competence

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.

Study Overview

Status

Enrolling by invitation

Conditions

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.
