Background: Recently, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the FSHB promoter (−211G>T, rs10835638) was found to be associated with lower serum FSH levels and oligozoospermia in males. In contrast, a SNP in the FSH-receptor gene (FSHR, 2039A>G, rs6166) was previously shown to be associated with FSH levels in women only.Subjects and methods: One thousand two hundred and thirteen male partners in infertile couples without known c...
