Abstract
Objective: Unexplained infertility represents one of the most common diagnoses among infertile couples. In this study we investigated the impact of inherited thrombophilia as a risk factor in unexplained infertility. Material and Methods: In this study, genetic mutations of prothrombin gene G20210A, Factor V Leiden and methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T, as well as D-Dimer levels were investigated in 25 women diagnosed with unexplained infertility and 25 healthy fertile women. Results: In the present study, among unexplained infertile women and the control group, MTHFR C677T, prothrombin G20210A mutations and D-Dimer levels did not have a statistically significant difference (p>0.05). Factor V Leiden mutation was not observed in either group. Conclusion: Currently, there still are unclear points in the etiopathogenesis of unexplained infertility. As a result of our findings, although we did not observe a significant association between hereditary thrombophilia and unexplained infertility, the presence of a number of studies with contradictory findings demands future research with large sample sizes to clarify this issue.
