The observation of dysplasia in the stimulated group may differentiate women at risk. Conversely, the fact that the dysplasia profile after stimulation differs from that in genetic risk ... n=62) 11 cytological and architectural epithelial features defined and dysplasia score calculated to quantify ovarian epithelial abnormalitiesResults- Mean dysplasia score significantly higher in genetic risk and stimulated ovary groups than controls
