PURPOSE: The association of cytochrome P450 aromatase gene CYP19(TTTA) ( n ) polymorphism with ovarian response to FSH stimulation was explored. METHODS: Three hundred women undergoing medically assisted reproduction and 300 women with at least one spontaneous pregnancy participated in the study. CYP19(TTTA) ( n ) polymorphism was genotyped, while serum hormones were determined. During oocyte retrieval, the follicular size, the follicle and oocyte numbers were recorded. RESULTS: Six CYP19(TTTA) ( n ) alleles with 7 to 12 repeats were revealed. Women homozygous for long CYP19(TTTA) ( n ) alleles presented with lower serum FSH levels at the third day of the menstrual cycle (p < 0.001) and higher large follicle numbers (p < 0.01), compared to women homozygous for short CYP19(TTTA) ( n ) alleles. The CYP19(TTTA) ( 7 ) allele was associated with higher serum FSH levels (p < 0.003), with lower total follicle (p < 0.02) and large follicle numbers (p < 0.03), while CYP19(TTTA) ( 7 ) allele-carriers presented more frequently with small follicles than CYP19(TTTA) ( 7 ) allele-non carriers (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: CYP19 genetic variants were associated with ovarian reserve and response to standard gonadotrophin stimulation of women undergoing in vitro fertilization.
