The current proof of principle study explores the possibility that a genetic single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) profile is associated with ovarian response to standardized stimulation for IVF using exogenous FSH. Such a pharmacogenomic approach could aid in rendering ovarian stimulation for IVF more tailored to the patient, potentially improving the delicate balance between efficacy, side effects and chances for complications. Genome-wide association (GWA) analysis using Illumina Human 610-Quad BeadChips was used in a homogeneous group of 102 healthy, Caucasian, regularly cycling, non-smoking women aged 38 years or less with a body mass index
