Despite extensive research, the cause of approximately 15% of infertility cases remains unknown. Additionally, despite the high financial and emotional costs associated with infertility treatment, there is no single universal method that definitively leads to pregnancy and the birth of a healthy baby. This study investigates the prevalence of minor blood group antigens in infertile and fertile women in Iran, contributing to the understanding of blood group distributions in this population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Blood samples from 60 infertile women and 65 fertile women were analyzed for antigens in the Rh, MNS, P1PK, Kell, Duffy, Kidd, and Lewis blood group systems using manual serological agglutination tests and gel card methods.
