Familial idiopathic premature ovarian failure: an overrated and underestimated genetic disease?

Abstract: The incidence of familial cases of premature ovarian failure varies from 4 to 31%. Recall bias may explain part of the variance. Thorough evaluation of alleged affected relatives showed a lower incidence than the original family history suggested. In the present study the incidence of familial cases was 12.7%. Pedigree studies on affected families showed a mode of inheritance suggestive of autosomal dominant sex-limited transmission or X-linked inheritance with incomplete penetrance. An adequate family history… Show more

“…(iii) Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). The menopause occurs on average at age 51, though normal inheritance, as investigated in twin and mother-daughter studies [63,99]. POI, however, is a continuum disorder characterized by follicular dysfunction and/or depletion of primordial follicles before age 40, leading to infertility (∼1 % of the population).…”

“…Further studies are required to support such optimistic concept. Approximately 10%15% of POI cases have a positive family history [6,20]. Many genes have been reported to have association with familial POI.…”

“…De fait, les IOP se caractérisent à la fois par une transmission héréditaire familiale et par une composante ethnique suggérant le rôle de facteurs génétiques dans certains cas. L'incidence des IOP familiales idiopathiques est de l'ordre de 4 % à 31 % [5][6][7]. Cette variabilité reflète non seulement l'hétéro-généité génétique mais également le large spectre des pathologies que recouvre cette appellation, ainsi que l'absence de critères clairement établis pour en établir le diagnostic.…”
