PURPOSE: To evaluate the association between phenotype and follicle stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) genotype in women with ovarian dysfunction and patients with "poor response" to gonadotropin stimulation of ovulation. METHODS: FSHR gene SNPs were analyzed by PCR and RFLP. "Poor responders" (ovarian dysfunction) group and "good responders" group constituted the study group. Normo-ovulatory women who gave birth to naturally conceived children formed control groups: under 35 years of age (control I) and over 35 years of age (control II). RESULTS: The frequency of Ala307-Ser680/Ala307-Ser680 genotype was significantly more prevalent in the ovarian dysfunction group (26%) compared to the control I (7.7%) (P < 0.001) and a "good responders" group (12.5%) (P < 0.05); and in a "poor responders" group (33.3%) compared to a "good responders" group (P < 0.05), control I (P < 0.001) and control II (17.5%) (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Our data shows the prevalence of the Ala307-Ser680/ Ala307-Ser680 genotype in the both groups of patients. The finding should have impact on the delineation of stimulation protocols.
