Overview

Objective:
To assess and compare the frequency of selected gene mutations of thrombophilic markers (FV Leiden, FII prothrombin G20210A and MTHFR C677T) in patients with primary and secondary infertility.

Design:
Retrospective study.

Setting:
Institute of normal anatomy, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Palacky University Olomouc.

Methods:
The study included 92 patients with primary infertility and 89 patients with secondary infertility. Indications for examination of these mutations were following: a positive family or personal history, a positive obstetrical history or a repeated failure of assisted reproduction treatment.

Results:
According to our anticipation, women with the secondary infertility were significantly older(p < 0.0005) than those with primary infertility. No mutations of genes of examined thrombophilic markers (FV, FII and MTHFR), either alone or in combination, were found in only 8.7 % patients with primary infertility and in 5.6 % patients with secondary infertility. Significantly higher frequency of factor Leiden(p < 0.02) was observed in women with secondary infertility. There were no significant differences in the frequency of detected mutations of the remaining factors.

Conclusion:
Based on our findings we suggest that the assessment of selected gene mutations of thrombophilic markers should be a part of the diagnostic algorithm in patients with positive history for thrombophilic disorders.
