Introduction: The correlation between FMR1 and ovarian function is a relatively new field of research. It has been stated that premutation carriers present with higher rates of premature ovarian failure, compared to the general population. In the present study, we attempted to correlate the distribution of FMR1 CGG level and genotypes with the outcome of in vitro fertilization protocol between good and poor responders …

Polycystic ovary – like (PCO-L) abnormalities is a condition characterized by normally menstruating cycles, sporadic anovulation and no known infertility. These women usually present with hyperandrogenism, without polycystic ovarian morphology. With the present study, we attempted to evaluate the role of single nucleotide polymorphisms of FSH …
