Abstract

Female infertility is caused by ovulation issues, tubal disorders, uterine abnormalities, endometriosis, and peritoneal factors. For years, intrauterine insemination has been used to treat infertility alone or with ovarian stimulation. Obtaining adhesion ligands and losing inhibitory components are necessary for pregnancy. LIF promotes and differentiates proliferation and differentiation in embryonic, hematopoietic, and endothelial cells. LIF also controls prostaglandins (PGs), which mediate implantation and decidualization. The measuring hormone profile on cycle day 2 before control ovarian stimulation including FSH, LH, E2, Prolactin, TSH, and AMH. Serum LH, E2. The progesterone level was estimated on the day of triggering. The effect of LIF gene genotypes on hormone level. The hormone levels of 100 intrauterine inseminated women were measured on the second day of the cycle and the day of ovulation. DNA extraction for LIF gene variation detection utilizing sequencing and HRM. The current study found no significant differences between pregnant and non-pregnant groups for hormone levels, genotype, and genetic effect on female hormone levels with (P ≥0.05). The LIF gene did not affect hormone levels in infertile females may be due to the tiny samples or the complex signaling chain that happens during implantation.
