Alterations in follicular fluid BMP-15 RNA expression in women undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation.

Background/aim: Bone morphogenetic protein-15 (BMP-15) is one of the maturation indicators of the ovarian follicular pool. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible difference of follicular fluid (FF) BMP-15 RNA expression among low, normal, and high responder women attending controlled ovarian hyperstimulation-intracytoplasmic sperm injection (COH-ICSI) cycles.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 75 FFs of COH-ICSI cycles performed at the IVF Unit of University Hospital.

Familial mediterranean Fever: a retrospective clinical and molecular study in the East of anatolia region of Turkey.

Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an autoinflammatory periodic disorder. We aim to identify the distribution and the frequency of the Mediterranean Fever (MEFV) gene mutations in the east of Anatolia in Turkey and perform a genotype/phenotype correlation in the patients' cohort. The study was carried out on 415 clinically diagnosed Turkish FMF patients and 103 healthy controls.
