Background: FSH is one of the key hormones of mammalian reproduction. FSH signaling may be affected by single-nucleotide polymorphisms residing in the FSH receptor (FSHR) gene. The most pronounced effects of these polymorphisms are likely to be displayed in the follicle fluid, which acts as a reservoir for granulosa cell secreted hormones induced by FSH.Methods: Genetic polymorphisms of FSHR in position -29 (FSHR -29) and in codon 307 and codon ...
