The Flat Earth Society: a rose by any other name?

In the current issue of Human Reproduction van Dorp et al. (2013) provide us with seminal evidence about a serum marker that purportedly informs us about current and future ovarian function. Current dogma attributes to this marker the ability to determine the number of primordial follicles remaining in the ovary. The findings in this publication force us to reconsider this long-held view. I congratulate the authors for testing hypotheses that challenge current dogma. I also applaud the authors for employing scientifically accurate terminology in their report.
