Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: A polymorphism in the FSHB promoter (-211G→T, rs10835638) was found to be associated with decreased FSH, elevated LH, reduced testosterone, and oligozoospermia in males. Although FSH is pivotal for ovarian function, no data on consequences of FSHB -211G→T are available in females. OBJECTIVE: We studied the effects of FSHB -211G→T on the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis in women. DESIGN AND SETTING: In...
