A 19 years old patient with primary amenorrhea was referred to our center. Based on discrepancy between high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level and normal ovarian reserve parameters, follicle stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) mutation was screened. The patient was homozygous in exon 6 of the FSHR gene for the new variant c.479T > C and predicted to result in an aminoacid substitution p.Ile160Thr. One year later, her anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) level inexplicably decreased. Oocyte vitrification was thus offered for fertility preservation. After 17 days of recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (recFSH) (900 IU daily), no follicular growth was seen and estradiol levels remained low. In vitro maturation (IVM) was then suggested. Ten oocytes were successfully vitrified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
