Salehi E, et al. - The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between gene expression pattern of apoptotic biomarkers in cumulus cells of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients and the quality of oocytes and embryos. This examination uncovers that the estimation of survivin, caspase-3, caspase-7 levels in cumulus cells of PCOS patients could be utilized as genetic biomarkers for oocyte and embryo selection under an ART program. However, further prospective investigations are required to explain this issue.
