Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Polymorphisms of the FSHR gene are associated with variable ovarian response to FSH stimulation in subjects undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. The type of ovarian response is correlated with the level of FSH receptor (FSHR) expression on granulosa cells. OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether the polymorphism at position -29 in the promoter of the FSHR gene may contribute in altered receptor...
