Differences in fertility and assisted reproduction in South Asian women

Abstract

Recently, interest in ethnic-mediated disparities in assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes has been increasing. Studies report that a large proportion of South Asian women experience infertility as a consequence of anovulatory endocrinopathies, most commonly caused by PCOS. South Asian patients with infertility may be phenotypically different from their Caucasian counterparts, which may affect the outcomes of ART. Here we review the current literature evaluating ART outcomes in South Asian women.
