Abstract excerpt
Recent studies in mammals have suggested that the phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) - phosphatidylinositol-3, 4, 5-trisphosphate pathway in oocytes might be related to the pathogenesis of premature ovarian failure (POF). The aim of this study was to investigate whether mutations of the PTEN gene are present in women with POF. We analyzed the coding region of the PTEN gene in 20 women...
