Background: The aim of this study was to analyze two different polymorphisms, Ser680Asn and -29 (G>A) promoter polymorphism, of the follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) gene, individually but also in combination, in a sample of Greek women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Materials and methods: One hundred and forty-one women undergoing IVF or ICSI and 94 controls were genotyped by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for the two FSHR polymorphisms. The association of the alleles with the clinical, biochemical and other parameters concerning the controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) protocol and outcome was investigated, as well as the pregnancy rate. Results: The study of each polymorphism individually revealed a positive correlation of the SerSer genotype (Ser680Asn polymorphism) with higher luteinizing hormone (LH) levels on the third day of the menstrual cycle. On the other hand, the A allele for the -29 (G>A) promoter polymorphism correlated with the increased number and quality of cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs). No differences were detected when the different genotypes of the two polymorphisms were combined – the population study was grouped according to the number of polymorphic alleles they carried (0–4 alleles). Women who presented all polymorphic alleles, AsnAsn/AA, exhibited the lowest LH levels (2.62 ± 0.68 mIU/L), but were rarely detected (n = 2, 1.4% of the studied population). Conclusions: The data from this study reflect that the investigation of the combination of polymorphisms, such as FSHR -29 and Ser680Asn, could offer a valuable tool in order to evaluate and anticipate the outcome of the ovulation induction protocols, especially in the group of patients with failed attempts.
