Common genetic variation in CYP1B1 is associated with concentrations of T4, FT3 and FT4 in the sera of polycystic ovary syndrome patients
CYP1B1 encodes an estrogen enzyme that oxidizes 17β-estradiol to 4-hydroxyestradiol. The evidence demonstrates there may be a relationship between CYP1B1 and thyroid function. To date, no study has evaluated i...

Open AccessMiRNA-320 in the human follicular fluid is associated with embryo quality in vivo and affects mouse embryonic development in vitro
Previous work from our laboratory demonstrated the existence of miRNAs in human follicular fluid. In the current study, we have sought to identify miRNAs that might affect oocyte/embryo quality in patients und...
