Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the impact of MTHFR gene polymorphisms on embryological outcomes in IVF/ICSI cycles among Korean women with infertility.
  • Analysis included 173 women and 301 IVF/ICSI cycles, revealing variations in oocyte maturation and good-quality embryo rates based on different MTHFR genotypes.
  • The findings suggest that the 677TT genotype is linked to lower oocyte maturation, while certain combined genotypes (677CC/1298CC, 677CT/1298AA) show higher rates of good-quality embryos, highlighting the significance of genetic factors in reproductive outcomes.

Aim: To evaluate the relationship between AMH and ovarian response to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in women with PCOM and PCOS.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 559 patients who underwent the IVF-ET cycle between January 2018 and December 2022 at Gangnam Cha Hospital. Patients were divided into 3 groups matched for age and BMI: the PCOS group (n = 54), based on the new 2023 PCOS guideline; the PCOM group (n = 53); and the control group (n = 452) with normal ovaries.

Background And Objectives: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and osteoporosis are major disease entities in older women that have the same epidemiology and might also have the same molecular physiology. However, few data have been reported on the relationship between POP and osteoporosis. We designed this study to examine the association between POP and osteoporosis in Korean women.
