Abstract

We describe a preliminary report identifying markers of ovarian reserve to identify candidates for ovarian cryopreservation. Among 14 patients with Turner's syndrome, those with a poor probability of fertility had a significantly higher FSH, lower inhibin A, and lower AMH compared with those with a fair probability of fertility.
