The transferrin locus is considered to be a genetic marker, it conducts the synthesis of several allelic products, which associate with the iron level in serum. Lower concentrations of iron relate to the defense mechanism of endometrium (3). The objective of the present work was to set the possible associations between the genotype producer of eCG for the transferrin marker and the resistance or susceptibility character to endometrium infections
