Background and Objective: In- vitro fertilization (IVF) is one of the approved treatment options for infertility. Despite many progresses in this field, its success rate is about 20 -25%. Utilization of drugs which suppress or decrease uterine smooth muscle contraction before embryo transfer, theoretically can improve fertility by increasing implantation rate. This study was designed to evaluat...

The study was carried out in the department of Gynaecology and Obstet...

Women with recurrent abortion, primary unexplained infertility, and gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) manifest disordered human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) secretion. Mutations in the HCG beta/luteinizing hormone (LH) beta gene complex could cause aberrant HCG production in these disorders. The purpose of this study was to determine whether HCG beta gene deletions occur in women with ...
