Background Successful implantation of blastocysts is indeed an important path in mammalian reproduction that is governed by a complicated web of cytokines interactions. Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and interleukin-11 (IL-11) part of the interleukin (IL)-6 groups are cytokines that are needed for effective implantation and prevent infertility symptoms. This study aimed to determine the expression level (LIF, IL-11) genes in patients with primary infertility related to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), tubal factor infertility (TFI), and unexplained infertility (UI). Results In this study, 75 infertility women and 40 controls were involved. The expressions of LIF and IL-11 genes were evaluated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction qRT–PCR Light Cycler in patients and healthy controls. PCOS, TFI, and UI groups showed promising results regarding LIF gene, which appeared at very small levels compared to the control ( p  &lt; 0.0001). Regarding IL-11, the two groups TFI and UI were significantly linked to the lower level of gene expression, while the PCOS group has no significant difference when it is compared to the control group ( p  &lt; 0.0001, &lt; 0.05, 0.19), respectively. Conclusion The current findings show that low levels of LIF and IL-11 gene expression are linked to various primary infertility conditions, including PCOS, tubal factor, and unexplained infertility since they play a fundamental role in embryo implantation.
