Abstract
An analysis of the effect of HOXA10 and HOXA11 expression in the endometrial stroma of late reproductive women with tubal infertility factor on the outcomes of assisted reproductive technology (ART) programs was performed.
There was a tendency to a statistically significant decrease in the expression of HOXA11 in the endometrial stroma during effective attempts to treat infertility.
Using the ROC (Receiver operator characteristic) method of analysis and calculations of the area under the ROC curve (AUC), it was found out that favorable levels of HOXA11 expression for successful blastocyst implantation and live births in infertile women with their own and donor oocytes.
