ASSOCIATED DISORDERS
corresponding disease(s) ODG1 , OHSS
Other morbid association(s)
TypeGene ModificationChromosome rearrangementProtein expressionProtein Function
tumoral somatic mutation      
in ovarian sex cord tumors
constitutional germinal mutation      
leading to increased sensitivity to HCG and to development of spontaneous ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome
tumoral     --over  
may play a role in ovarian epithelial tumors development
Susceptibility
  • to severe OHSS (ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome)
  • to polycystic ovary syndrome
  • Variant & Polymorphism other genotype in position 680 of the FSHR could be a predictor of severity of symptoms among OHSS patients
