Advances in research on genetic changes related to premature ovarian insufficiency
Premature ovarian insufficiency(POI)refers to the occurrence of menstrual and hormonal abnormalities in women before the age of 40.In recent years,the incidence rate of POI has increased year by year,attracting strong attention from scholars at home and abroad.With the development of technologies such as whole exome sequencing and whole genome sequencing,different POI candidate genes and pathogenic genes have been discovered.More and more studies have confirmed that gene mutations are involved in the pathological and physiological processes of POI,which has greatly increased people's understanding of its genetic etiology.In this paper,we review the latest progress in POI related gene changes and their molecular mechanisms from three aspects:DNA damage repair and homologous recombination related genes,transcription factor related genes,and ovarian function related genes,in order to clarify the diversity of its pathogenesis and provide new ideas for genetic screening and the treatment of POI.
