FSHR is involved in the development and maturation of Graafian follicles, along with granulosa proliferation and estrogen synthesis. There are two well-characterized non-synonymous single-nucleotide gene polymorphisms in the exon 10 of the human FSHR gene, namely rs6165 (c.919G&gt;A, Ala307Thr) and rs6166 (c.2039A&gt;G, Ser680Asn). Recent research clarifies the association of rs6165\/rs6166 with susceptibility to infertility-associated ovarian diseases, ranging from polycystic ovarian syndrome, premature ovarian insufficiency, endometriosis, to ovarian cancer, along with response\/resistance to ovulation induction\/ovarian stimulation with clomiphene citrate, letrozole, metformin, FSH preparations, and adjunctive growth hormone in infertility treatment. This narrative review aims to update the knowledge on the relationship among rs6165\/rs6166, infertility etiology, and differential responses to oral ovulation induction agents, FSH preparations, and adjunctive growth hormone. The re6165\/rs6166 genotype-guided choice of individualized ovulation stimulation preparations has great potential to reduce unexpected poor or high ovarian responses in ovulation induction and ovarian stimulation and improve clinical outcomes in reproductive medicine. Current evidence is insufficient, and further studies are warranted to ascertain its potential for clinical implementation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics16020221","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,12]],"date-time":"2026-01-12T07:30:34Z","timestamp":1768203034000},"page":"221","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Significance of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Receptor Gene Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism rs6165\/rs6166 Analysis for Infertility-Associated Ovarian Disease Susceptibility Prediction and Optimized Individualized Ovulation Induction\/Ovarian Stimulation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5693-3139","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kotaro","family":"Kitaya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Infertility Center, Iryouhoujin Kouseikai Mihara Hospital, 6-8 Kamikatsura Miyanogo-cho, Nishikyo-ku, Kyoto 615-8227, Japan"},{"name":"Iryouhoujin Kouseikai Katsura-ekimae Mihara Clinic, 103 Katsura OS Plaza Building, 133 Katsura Minamitatsumi-cho, Nishikyo-ku, Kyoto 615-8074, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Atsumi","family":"Hamazaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Infertility Center, Iryouhoujin Kouseikai Mihara Hospital, 6-8 Kamikatsura Miyanogo-cho, Nishikyo-ku, Kyoto 615-8227, Japan"},{"name":"Iryouhoujin Kouseikai Katsura-ekimae Mihara Clinic, 103 Katsura OS Plaza Building, 133 Katsura Minamitatsumi-cho, Nishikyo-ku, Kyoto 615-8074, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naoko","family":"Kobayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Infertility Center, Iryouhoujin Kouseikai Mihara Hospital, 6-8 Kamikatsura Miyanogo-cho, Nishikyo-ku, Kyoto 615-8227, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takako","family":"Mihara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Infertility Center, Iryouhoujin Kouseikai Mihara Hospital, 6-8 Kamikatsura Miyanogo-cho, Nishikyo-ku, Kyoto 615-8227, Japan"},{"name":"Iryouhoujin Kouseikai Katsura-ekimae Mihara Clinic, 103 Katsura OS Plaza Building, 133 Katsura Minamitatsumi-cho, Nishikyo-ku, Kyoto 615-8074, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masaya","family":"Mihara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Infertility Center, Iryouhoujin Kouseikai Mihara Hospital, 6-8 Kamikatsura Miyanogo-cho, Nishikyo-ku, Kyoto 615-8227, Japan"},{"name":"Iryouhoujin Kouseikai Katsura-ekimae Mihara Clinic, 103 Katsura OS Plaza Building, 133 Katsura Minamitatsumi-cho, Nishikyo-ku, Kyoto 615-8074, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"525","DOI":"10.1210\/mend-4-4-525","article-title":"The Testicular Receptor for Follicle Stimulating Hormone: Structure and Functional Expression of Cloned CDNA","volume":"4","author":"Sprengel","year":"1990","journal-title":"Mol.
