The presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (APA) and its potential impact have not been established yet in infertile women seeking assisted reproduction technologies in Syria.This study aims to determine the prevalence of anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) and lupus anticoagulation (LAC) and their association with age and the In vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes in a large sample of Syrian women.
