Inherited mutation of the luteinizing hormone/choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR) in empty follicle syndrome.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To test by genomic analysis whether empty follicle syndrome (EFS) in a family with two affected sisters has a genetic basis. DESIGN:Whole-exome sequencing in the context of clinical genetics. SETTING:University hospital. PATIENT(S):Two women (36 and 32 years old at the time of the study) with EFS. INTERVENTION(S):Genetic counseling based on autosomal recessive inheritance. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):Discovery of a mutation in the LH/choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR) as the cause of EFS. RESULT(S):A novel missense mutation in LHCGR, p.N400S, was homozygous in sisters with EFS and/or infertility, but not in their unaffected siblings or parents. The mutation was not present in 500 ancestry-matched control subjects. Asparagine at residue 400 is highly conserved and its substitution by serine predicted to alter critical interactions that stabilize LHCGR. CONCLUSION(S):We describe a genetic basis for EFS and provide strong evidence for the existence of genuine EFS in some patients. A mutation impairing the function of LHCGR explains the lack of response of these patients to repeated administration of β-hCG.

  • A new in vitro fertilization technique: intravaginal culture.

    abstract::Intravaginal culture (IVC) is a new technique elaborated by the authors for the fertilization and culture of human oocytes. Its principle consists of fertilization and early development of the eggs in a closed, air-free milieu without the addition of CO2. One to five ovocytes are deposited in a tube completely filled ...
