Résumé

The 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is an important enzyme of folate and methionine metabolism, which is expressed in human oocytes and preimplantation. Due to the involvement of MTHFR in female reproduction, we tend to evaluate the influence of MTHFR A1298C polymorphism on ovarian marker reserves such as serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels in women after in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). A total of 100 women, who underwent ART treatment due to male factor infertility, were recruited into this study. MTHFR A1298C polymorphism was detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique, and serum AMH concentrations were measured by an ultrasensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Women with the CC genotype had higher AMH levels (4.15 ± 1.67 ng/ml), albeit not significant, than carriers with other genotypes after ovarian stimulation. No significant differences existed in terms of miscarriage and live birth rates among different genotype groups. The presence of the C mutant allele of the 1298 polymorphism in the MTHFR gene led to an increasing trend in serum AMH concentrations; however, the numbers of oocytes retrieved decreased in women with mutated genotypes. The influence of the MTHFR C677T polymorphism on embryo quality and pregnancy rate after ART cycles remains unclear.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
The 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is an important enzyme of folate and methionine metabolism, which is expressed in human oocytes and preimplantation. Due to the involvement of MTHFR in female reproduction, we tend to evaluate the influence of MTHFR A1298C polymorphism on ovarian marker reserves such as serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels in women after in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
METHODS METHODS
A total of 100 women, who underwent ART treatment due to male factor infertility, were recruited into this study. MTHFR A1298C polymorphism was detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique, and serum AMH concentrations were measured by an ultrasensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
RESULTS RESULTS
Women with the CC genotype had higher AMH levels (4.15 ± 1.67 ng/ml), albeit not significant, than carriers with other genotypes after ovarian stimulation. No significant differences existed in terms of miscarriage and live birth rates among different genotype groups.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
The presence of the C mutant allele of the 1298 polymorphism in the MTHFR gene led to an increasing trend in serum AMH concentrations; however, the numbers of oocytes retrieved decreased in women with mutated genotypes. The influence of the MTHFR C677T polymorphism on embryo quality and pregnancy rate after ART cycles remains unclear.
