Association of Polymorphisms in FSHR, ESR1, and BMP15 with Primary Ovarian Insufficiency and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) can lead to menstrual disturbance, resulting in ovarian dysfunction before age 40. Prevalence of POI is usually less than 1%; however, ethnicity or population characteristics may affect prevalence. POI is a heterogeneous disease that results from abnormalities in immunological and hormonal factors. Genetic factors can also contribute to POI. Here, we examine FSHR, ESR1, and BMP15 polymorphisms in patients with POI, and controls. We examined a hormonal gene that is important for pregnancy, follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR), as well as estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1), and associated it with FSHR expression, ovulation rate, and bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15). We examined 139 Korean patients under age 40 with POI, and 350 Ko
