New insights into the pathophysiology of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. What makes the difference between spontaneous and iatrogenic syndrome?

Abstract excerpt

The recent identification of mutations in the FSH receptor gene, which display an increased sensitivity to hCG and are responsible for the development of spontaneous ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), provides for the first time the molecular basis for the physiopathology of spontaneous OHSS.
