Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) immune genes play an important role in partner selection,
but it has remained unclear if nonrandom pairing with respect to parental HLA genes could …

Human leucocyte antigen (HLA) genes appear to mediate pre‐and post‐copulatory mate
choice towards HLA‐dissimilar ('compatible') partners. However, since genetically distinct …

Several studies have demonstrated that women show pre-copulatory mating preferences for
human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-dissimilar men. A fascinating, yet unexplored, possibility is …

Studies in fertile and infertile populations suggest an influence of genes of the major
histocompatibility complex (MHC) on reproduction, although it remains unresolved if MHC …

In natural fertilisation, the female reproductive tract allows only a strictly selected sperm
subpopulation to proceed in the vicinity of an unfertilised oocyte. Female-mediated sperm …

Problem Previous studies support a role for MHC on mating preference, yet it remains
unsettled as to whether mating occurs preferentially between individuals sharing human …

Purpose Abnormal spermatozoa significantly impact reproductive health, affecting fertility
rates, potentially prolonging conception time, and increasing the risk of miscarriages. This …

Cryptic female choice may enable polyandrous females to avoid inbreeding or bias offspring
variability at key loci after mating. However, the role of these genetic benefits in cryptic …

Infertility is defined as an inability to conceive after unprotected intercourse for a year.
Infertility is increasing worldwide and has various causes, which occur in the male and/or …

The impact of feto-maternal histocompatibility on reproduction has inspired long-lasting
debates. However, after the review of numerous articles, the impact of HLA allele sharing …
