Asynchronous and pathological windows of implantation: two causes of recurrent implantation failure

2018

STUDY QUESTION: Is endometrial recurrent implantation failure (RIF) only a matter of an asynchronous (displaced) window of implantation (WOI), or could it also be a pathological (disrupted) WOI? SUMMARY ANSWER: Our predictive results demonstrate that both displaced and disrupted WOIs exist and can present independently or together in the same RIF patient. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Since 2002, many gene expression signatures associated with endometrial receptivity and RIF have been described. Endometrial transcriptomics prediction has been applied to the human WOI in two previous studies. One study describes endometrial RIF to be the result of a temporal displacement of the WOI. The other indic…
