Purpose To explore the value of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients for different phenotype and age, and identify the relationship between the hyperandrogenism (HA) and polycystic ovary morphology (PCOM) in Chinese cohort.
Methods A total of 2262 women (1631 with PCOS and 631 health controls) were enrolled. The serum AMH and total testosterone (TT) were analyzed, compared the AMH level of each subgroup and evaluated the value of each phenotype and age group of PCOS.
Results The level of AMH in PCOS(8.63±4.73ng/ml) was higher than that in health controls(5.57±3.31ng/ml) (P<0.01).The level of AMH in PCOM subgroup(11.19±6.4ng/ml) was significantly higher than that in HA subgroup(8.58±4.74ng/ml) (P<0.01), and both higher than that in health controls(P<0.01). AMH changes highly in PCOS compared with the health control, but as the same value in subgroups of PCOS patients under 30-year-old.
Conclusion AMH changed in different subgroups of PCOS, which was the possible reason why AMH was not a diagnostic indicator. However, AMH could differ the subgroup in clinical, AMH was strongly related with PCOM, not hyperandrogenism. AMH changed much as aged, but stable in PCOS patients under 30-year-old.
