Serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels provide a powerful means for predicting ovarian response, which is reflected not only by the size of the primordial follicle pool but also by the quality of the oocytes. Considering a mutual interdependence between AMH-expressing somatic cells and gametes, this prospective morphological study was set up to evaluate whether extreme AMH levels represent diminished oocyte quality and developmental incompetence.
