In a retrospective case-control study, the frequencies of Q188R, K285N, N314D, and IVS5-24G>A mutations were determined with the use of polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism in the group of infertile women and the controls. No statistically significant differences were observed in the allele frequencies between the infertile women and control groups.
