Novel NR5A1 Missense Mutation in Premature Ovarian Failure: Detection in Han Chinese Indicates Causation in Different Ethnic Groups
BACKGROUND The etiology of most premature ovarian failure (POF) cases is usually elusive. Although genetic causes clearly exist and a likely susceptible region of 8q22.3 has been discovered, no predominant explanation exists for POF. More recently, evidences have indicated that mutations in NR5A1 gene could be causative for POF. We therefore screened for mutations in the NR5A1 gene in a large c...
متن کاملNovel WT1 Missense Mutations in Han Chinese Women with Premature Ovarian Failure
Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a heterogeneous disease. Though dozens of candidate genes have been identified for the genetic etiology of POF, it is largely unexplained in majority of patients. Recently, Wt1(+/R394W) mice was found to present POF-like phenotype, which indicates that WT1 might be a plausible candidate gene for non-syndromic POF. The coding region of WT1 gene was screened in ...
متن کاملP-125: Identification of Novel Missense Mutations of The TGFBR3 Gene in Chinese Women with Premature Ovarian Failure
Background The aim of this study was to assess the ssociation between human transforming growth factor b receptor,type III (TGFBR3) and idiopathic premature ovarian failure (POF) in a Chinese population. MaterialsAndMethods A total of 112 Chinese women with idiopathic POF and 110 normal controls were examined. DNA samples prepared from blood leukocytes were used as templates for polymerase-chai...
متن کاملMutation analysis of the WNT4 gene in Han Chinese women with premature ovarian failure
BACKGROUND The WNT4 gene plays an important role in female sex determination and differentiation. It also contributes to maintaining of the ovaries and the survival of follicles. METHODS We sequenced the coding region and splice sites of WNT4 in 145 Han Chinese women with premature ovarian failure (POF) and 200 healthy controls. RESULTS Only one novel variation, in Exon 2 (195C > T), was de...
متن کاملAssociation of 8q22.3 locus in Chinese Han with idiopathic premature ovarian failure (POF).
Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a complex heritable disorder known to be caused by chromosomal abnormalities and to date a limited number of known mutations, often autosomal. We sought to identify additional genetic loci associated with POF by performing the first large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS). GWAS, using Affymetrix SNP 6.0 chip, was conducted in an initial discovery set ...
