PCOS is a common pathology in women of reproductive age, and ~70% of affected women remain undiagnosed. Clinical features of PCOS include ovulatory dysfunction, hyperandrogenism and PCOM (Rotterdam criteria). Replacement of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) with a blood test for PCOM is clinically desirable, as lack of access to TVUS may contribute to underdiagnosis of PCOS. We aimed to derive and validate a cut-off for AMH to discriminate PCOM using the Elecsys AMH Plus imm...

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, is diagnosed based on three criteria, including a polycystic ovarian morphology. Moreover, women with PCOS have elevated serum Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) levels, a hormone known to correlate with follicle number. In addition, AMH production per follicle is suggested to be higher in PCOS. Little is known about AMH gene regulation. Hence, this study aims to inv...
