Abstract

Objective: To present a brief updated review on the importance of genetic evaluation of the infertile couple. Methods: This is an integrative review. The databases used were PubMed, PEDro, LILACS and Scielo using the MESH terms: 'genetic evaluation', 'infertile couple', 'couple genetics' and 'infertility assessment'. A total of 346 articles were found, of which 17 articles were selected for this brief review. Results: Infertility is a major public health problem. Thanks to technological advances, genetic testing is becoming increasingly relevant in reproductive medicine. In the presence or significant suspicion of reproductive risk caused by genetic alteration, genetic evaluation provides a more accurate diagnosis of the cause of infertility and allows couples to know the risks of having this genetic material transmitted to their offspring. The identification of genetic factors has become a good practice for the proper management of the infertile couple. Final considerations: Infertility is a problem that affects, in addition to the couple, health services and the social environment. Genetic tests are available to explore the cause of infertility and assess a couple's risk of passing on their genetic traits, having repeat miscarriages, or even investigating failure of previous IVFs.
