Whole genome associated studies for age at menarche.

Briefings in functional genomics - 1 Mar 2011

Elks Cathy E, Ong Ken K

Abstract excerpt

Puberty, the transition from childhood to adult body size and sexual maturity, is a complex multi-staged process involving growth acceleration, weight gain and the appearance of secondary sexual physical features over a 2- to 3-year period. Recent genome-wide association (GWA) studies for age at menarche, the onset of the first menstrual period in girls, have identified the first common genetic variants to be...
