Infertility is a disease of the reproductive system defined by inability to conceive after having regular unprotected intercourse. Both environmental and genetic factors can be involved in female infertility. Manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) is a crucial mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme that has a key role in cellular defense against agents that induce oxidative stress. The present study was aimed to evaluate the MnSOD A16V gene polymorphism in female infertility in northern Iran.
