Purpose: Numerous genetic and endocrine factors are involved in the process of testicular descent, but only a few genetic causes have been reported in human. The aim of this study was to investigate the density and distribution of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and AMHRII receptors in cryptorchid patients and determine potential hormone imbalance connected with undescended testes by assessing the levels of AMH, Insulin-like factor 3 (INSL3) and inhibin B.
Materials And Methods: The serum hormone levels (AMH, INSL3 and inhibin B) were compared in the two groups - cryptorchidism (n=105) and control group (n=58). The frequency of AMHRII -482 A>G, AMHRII IVS 10+77 A>G, AMHRII IVS 5-6 C>T, and AMH Ile49Ser polymorphisms among cryptorchid boys were compared with the control group.
Results: None of the hormones levels were different between the cryptorchid and the control groups. All cases of IVS 5-6 C>T homozygote and heterozygote mutation were accompanied by an IVS 10+77 A>G and 482 A>G homozygote and heterozygote mutation. Interestingly, in most cases of all four polymorphisms, homozygote recessive genotype was associated with cases of cryptorchidism. However, the groups of patients were too small to draw definite conclusions.
Conclusion: The AMHRII -482 A>G, AMHRII IVS 10+77 A>G, AMHRII IVS 5-6 C>T and AMH Ile49Ser genotypes should be determined in a much larger group of boys with cryptorchidism.

This systematic review evaluated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms of AMH and AMHRII genes are associated with ovarian function. A literature search of PubMed and Embase was complemented by hand searches in the reference lists. Eight studies involving 3155 participants were included in a meta-analysis and 10 studies included for description.

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and AMH type II receptor (AMHRII) genes on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. In this prospective cohort study, we genotyped the AMH 146 T > G, AMHRII -482 A > G and AMHRII IVS1 +149 T > A variants in 635 women undergoing their first cycle of controlled ovarian stimulation for IVF. DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of all participants, and the SNPs were genotyped by real-time polymerase chain reaction.

Background/aims: Reported associations of reproductive outcomes (RO) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with genotypes of the Ile49Ser and -482A>G polymorphisms in the Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) gene and its type II receptor (AMHRII), respectively, have conflicting results.
Methods: PubMed, Google Scholar and Science Direct databases were searched for studies that investigated Ile49Ser and -482A>G in RO and PCOS. Using the metaanalytic approach, we estimated risk (odds ratio [OR] with 95% confidence intervals) using standard genetic models.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate whether the presence Antimullerian hormone (AMH) and Antimullerian hormone type II receptor (AMHRII) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) Ile(49)Ser and -482A>G respectively are related to the assisted reproduction outcome.
Methods: A prospective cross-sectional observational study was conducted in order to assess the distribution of AMH and AMHRII SNPs in two cohorts, one of healthy women (N = 100) and the control group and the IVF/ICSI group (N = 151) consisted of women undergoing IVF/ICSI treatment for infertility. Furthermore, a prospective longitudinal observational study was performed on the latter group to assess possible associations of these SNPs with patients' characteristics and controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) and pregnancy outcome.
