Increased Frequency of the Anti-Müllerian-Inhibiting Hormone Receptor 2 (AMHR2) 482 A>G Polymorphism in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Relationship to Luteinizing Hormone Levels

摘要

Context:The polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common and complex disease without a clear pattern of inheritance. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) has an inhibitory effect on FSH-stimulated follicle growth. Serum AMH levels are higher in women with PCOS than in normo-ovulatory women. The elevated AMH levels may reflect abnormalities in AMH signaling.
