Methods Using polymerase chain reaction （PCR） and DNA sequencing techniques, the exons of AMH and AMHRII were analyzed in 27 OHSS patients （OHSS group） and 22 non-OHSS patients （control group） who were applied controlled ovarian hyper- stimulation （COH）. Single nucleotide polymorphisms （SNPs） were also analyzed. Results SNPs G〉 T at position 146 of AMH exon 1 and G〉 A at position 134 of AMH exon 2 showed significant differences between the OHSS group and control group （P〈0.05）. SNP G〉 T at position 303 of AMH exon 1 showed no significant difference between the OHSS group and control group （P〉0.05）. No SNP was detected from the AMHR H exons 1 to 11 in either groups. Conclusion Genetic polymorphisms in the AMH gene may be a cause of ovarian hypersensitivity to exogenous hormone stimulation and the development of OHSS.展开更多
