Genetic evidence of ‘genuine’ empty follicle syndrome: a novel effective mutation in the LHCGR gene and review of the literature

30 Jan 2017

Abstract excerpt

Empty follicle syndrome (EFS) is a reproductive disorder in which no oocytes are retrieved during IVF. The existence of genuine EFS (GEFS) is still controversial, and to date, only one missense mutation of Luteinizing Hormone/Choriogonadotropin Receptor (LHCGR) has been reported to be associated with this disease. Here, we describe a GEFS patient in a non-consanguineous family from China. A 27-year-old woman...
