Genetics of age at menarche: a systematic review.

Human reproduction update - 1 Jan 2000

Dvornyk Volodymyr, Waqar-ul-Haq

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Menarche is the first menstrual period of a girl at puberty. The timing of menarche is important for health in later life. Age at menarche is a complex trait and has a strong genetic component. This review summarizes the results of the genetic studies of age at menarche conducted to date, highlights existing problems in this area and outlines prospects of future studies on genetic factors for the...
