Premature Ovarian Failure 8; Pof8

Description

Premature ovarian failure (POF), the endpoint of primary ovarian insufficiency, affects approximately 1% of women worldwide. Patients with POF present with at least a 6-month history of amenorrhea and elevated plasma levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (more than 40 mIU per milliliter). The disorder can result from premature depletion of the follicle pool, follicular atresia, follicle growth arrest, or ovarian dysgenesis (see {233300}). In approximately 10 to 15% of patients with POF, a genetic cause has been determined (summary by Caburet et al., 2014).For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of premature ovarian failure, see POF1 (OMIM ).
