This syndrome is due to a post-zygotic mutation of the GNAS1 gene with mosaic distribution and unilateral predominance. Clinical manifestations depend on the tissues carrying the mutation. We describe the ovarian function before and after unilateral ovariectomy in a woman with MAS and bilateral distribution of the GNAS1 gene mutation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Case report<\/jats:title><jats:p>A 33-year-old patient, previously diagnosed as having MAS, presented irregular menstrual cycles (30\u2013180 days) and monophasic temperature curves. Transvaginal ultrasound and blood tests were repeated at 3-day intervals over 3 months. Findings included a persistent quiescent left ovary, a persistent polycystic right ovary, constantly high estradiol-17\u03b2 (E<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>) levels, and very low FSH and LH levels. She also presented severe persistent pelvic pain. Because of unilateral ovarian activity, a unilateral right ovariectomy was performed as well as biopsy of the remaining left ovary. A GNAS1 gene mutation was identified in both ovaries. A regular monthly menstrual cycle was immediately restored. On day 3 of the menstrual cycle, E<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> level was 30\u200apg\/ml, FSH level was 7.5\u200amIU\/ml, and LH level was 6.4\u200amIU\/ml. On day 17, pelvic ultrasound showed one follicle of 25\u200amm in the left ovary.
