Factor V Leiden Mutation and Implantation Failure

This study has been completed.

Sponsored by:	University of Pennsylvania
Information provided by:	University of Pennsylvania
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00194350

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine whether inherited thrombophilias (tendency toward blood clotting) increase the risk of failure of the embryo to implant in IVF. The specific condition to be studied is the presence or absence of the Leiden mutation of the Factor V gene.
