چکیده

Among the causes of premature ovarian failure (POF) two groups of factors are reported: factors which lead to decrease of follicular number and factors which stimulate follicular atresia. In the first group genetic factors are the most important whereas in the second: enzymatic autoimmunological, iatrogenic, toxins and infections are reported. In 1986 familiar POF on the background of long arm of chromosome X deletion was reported. Other chromosomes which are important for normal ovarian function are: chromosome 21 (AIRE gene), chromosome 11 (gene of beta FSH, ATM gene), chromosome 3 (gene responsible for BEPS syndrome) and chromosome 2 (genes of FSH and LH receptors). In this review the role of these genes and results of several epidemiological studies are reported.

Background: Immaturity of the ovarian follicles results in an infertility citation called Premature Ovarian Failure (POF), affecting approximately 1% of women under the age of 40. Women with this disorder go through early menopause and have high levels of gonadotropin hormones (FSH & LH). Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR) is another infertility disorder in which women’s ovaries have the ability ...

Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a heterogeneous disorder, defined as menopause under age 40 years. The prevalence is 1%; POF before age 30 years is much less common. Chromosomal causes have long been recognized - visible deletions of the X chromosome, 45,X/46,XX mosaicism, and autosomal rearrangements (balanced translocations). Toxins or iatrogenic causes (e.g., chemotherapeutic agents) are ...

Background: Premature ovarian failure (POF) is defined by the association of amenorrhea, hypoestrogenism and elevated (menopausal) levels of serum gonadotropins before age of 40 years-old. This condition affects approximately %1 of women under 40 years of age. Physiologic replacement of ovarian steroid hormones seems rational until the age of normal menopause. Temporary return of ovarian functi...
