    <abstract locale="en_US">This study aimed to assess the relationship between the serum levels of anti-mullerian hormone&#xA0;(AMH) and other hormonal markers and results of assisted reproductive techniques (ART) in polycystic&#xA0;ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients. This cohort study was conducted on 60 PCOS patients who were&#xA0;candidates for assisted reproductive techniques. In all patients the serum levels of AMH, follicle stimulating&#xA0;hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2), free testosterone (fT), testosterone (T) and&#xA0;inhibin B were measured in the 3rd day of menstrual cycle. The relationship between serum level of measured&#xA0;hormonal markers with retrieved oocytes, mature oocytes, the number of transferred fetus and pregnancy rate&#xA0;were assessed. The cut-off value for the serum level of AMH and retrieved oocytes were determined. There&#xA0;was a significant direct correlation between the serum mullerian inhibiting substance (MIS) level with&#xA0;number of total picked up oocytes (r=0.412), mature oocytes (r=0.472) and embryo transfer (r=0.291). There&#xA0;was a linear and significant correlation between inhibin B and fertilization (r=0.283) Cut-off point for AMH&#xA0;level according to presence or absence of pregnancy was 4.8 ng/ml and it was not statistically significant&#xA0;(P=0.655). Area under curve (AUC) was 0.543. Cut-off point for MIS according to picked up oocytes was 2.7&#xA0;ng/ml with area under the curve (ROC curve) of 0.724 (CI= 0.591-0.831) (P=0.002). Patients with PCOS who&#xA0;had AMH more than 2.7 ng/ml, the number of retrieved oocytes (6 or more) was higher than MIS/AMH &lt;2.7&#xA0;ng/ml (P=0.002). As a marker of ovarian responsiveness to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) and&#xA0;despite a small sample size of our study, it is revealed that pretreatment MIS/AMH is highly associated with&#xA0;the number of mature oocytes retrieved during COH in PCOS women.</abstract>
