Ten percent of people who are of reproductive age experience infertility. Sometimes the most effective therapies, including technology for assisted reproduction, may lead to unsuccessful implantation. Because of the anticipated epigenetic alterations of in vitro as well as in vitro fertilization growth of embryos, these fertility techniques have also been linked to unfavorable pregnancy outcomes linked to infertility. In this regard, a variety of non-coding RNAs such as long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) act as epigenetic regulators in the various physiological and pathophysiological events such as infertility. LncRNAs have been made up of cytoplasmic and nuclear nucleotides; RNA polymerase II transcribes these, which are lengthier than 200 nt. LncRNAs perform critical roles in a number of biological procedures like nuclear transport, X chromosome inactivation, apoptosis, stem cell pluripotency, as well as genomic imprinting. A significant amount of lncRNAs were linked into a variety of biological procedures as high throughput sequencing technology advances, including the development of the testes, preserving spermatogonial stem cells' capacity for differentiation along with self-renewal, and controlling spermatocyte meiosis. All of them point to possible utility of lncRNAs to be biomarkers and treatment aims for female infertility. Herein, we summarize various lncRNAs that are involved in female infertility.
