Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: WNT4 and SF1 genes play an important role in ovarian development. They constitute coherent candidate genes associated with premature ovarian failure (POF) pathogenesis.

RESULTS: We identified a synonymous variation in WNT4 (c.99G>A, p.Ser33Ser) and a substitution (c.G437C) in SF1 gene...
