The aim of this study was to investigate whether in vitro maturation (IVM) and blastocyst development of oocytes collected following HCG-primed IVM cycles of PCOS patients are correlated with their cumulus cell (CC) patterns and further to investigate mRNA expression of the receptors for FSH, LH and epidermal growth factor (EGF) in the CCs with each pattern.
