Clinic Hausken participates in a new international prospective multicenter study led by Prof. Griesinger at the University of Luebeck.
The study examines difference in how the ovaries respond to a given hormone stimulation. When one gives the same hormone stimulation to different women, there is a great variation in the number of eggs that one takes out at egg extraction. Many factors can affect the result: the woman's age (both calendrical and biological), PCOS, lifestyle factors, genetic factors, etc.
However, genetic variations in particular have been little studied so far. With this investigation, we will study in whether genetic difference of hormone receptors affects the stimulation outcome.
The results of this study may help us optimize hormone stimulation in the future. We warmly welcome any couple willing to attend!
