FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE RECEPTOR POLYMORPHISMS AS MARKERS OF POOR OVARIAN RESPONSE IN WOMEN RECEIVING HORMONAL HYPERSTIMULATION PRIOR TO IN VITRO FERTILIZATION
Abstract Poor ovarian response (POR) in IVF can lead to cancelling a treatment cycle which is a physical and mental strain on the patient. To beforehand identify the patient’s ovarian response would possibly prevent the risk of unsuccessful stimulation. POR has been linked to polymorphisms in the FSH receptor. Using the FSHR genotype as prognostic criteria would permit individualisation of dosing
