Abstract

Antibodies (IgG) to gonadotropin-releasing hormone were measured by ELISA in blood serum of women with miscarriage and men with infertility. Spontaneous production of antibodies to gonadotropin-releasing hormone was observed during miscarriage and male infertility: the mean level of antibodies in these groups was higher than in healthy women and men (p<0.0001). ROC-analysis showed that test for IgG to gonadotropin-releasing hormone has high sensitivity, specificity, and AUC (more that 70%, 90%, and 0.8, respectively). Thus, the presence of antibodies to gonadotropin-releasing hormone was associated with impairments of human reproductive function.
