Primary ovarian insufficiency: an update
نویسندگان
چکیده
Primary ovarian insufficiency is a condition that represents impaired ovarian function on a continuum with intermittent ovulation. This condition commonly leads to premature menopause, defined as cessation of ovulation prior to the age of 40 years. Because there are potential immediate and long-term consequences of hypoestrogenism, a timely diagnosis is invaluable. This comprehensive review will discuss identifiable causes for primary ovarian insufficiency, including genetic disorders and metabolic abnormalities, as well as review current strategies for diagnosis, evaluation, and management of women with this condition.

The Genetics of Non-Syndromic Primary Ovarian Insufficiency: A Systematic Review
Purpose: Several causes for primary ovarian insufficiency have been described, including iatrogenic and environmental factor, viral infections, chronic disease as well as genetic alterations. Given the large number of genes described in the literature so far, the aim of this review was to collect all the genetic mutations associated with non-syndromic primary ovarian insufficiency. Methods: All...
متن کاملO-43: Mutations in NR5A1 Associated withOvarian Insufficiency
Background: The genetic causes of nonsyndromic ovarian insufficiency are largely unknown. A nuclear receptor, NR5A1 (also called steroidogenic factor 1), is a key transcriptional regulator of genes involved in the hypothalamic–pituitary–steroidogenic axis. Mutation of NR5A1 causes 46,XY disorders of sex development, with or without adrenal failure, but growing experimental evidence from studies...
متن کاملAssociation of two single nucleotide polymorphisms rs10407022 and rs3741664 with the risk of primary ovarian insufficiency in a sample of Iraqi women
Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) can be a devastating disease impacting women below the age of forty. This involves a major decrease in the amount and quality of oocytes, or ovarian reserve in a woman. The distribution of single-nucleotide polymorphisms, rs10407022 and rs3741664, in Iraqi people and its association with primary ovarian insufficiency is the main objective of this study. The m...
