This review covers current concepts of immune and genetic mechanisms of infertility associated with human urogenital chlamydialinfection. It describes studies of individual polymorphisms of genes coding cytokines and other immune system mediators. It alsopresents the results of studies aimed at searching for genetic predisposition to the development of complications resulting in humanreproductive function disorders caused by past urogenital chlamydial infections.
