Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify whether variants found in a large Han Chinese cohort - 8q22.3 SNPs rs3847153 and rs3108910; and one SNP each in HK3 (rs2278493), ESR1 (rs2234693) and BRSK1 (rs12611091) - are associated with premature ovarian failure (POF) in a different ethnic group (Serbian). DESIGN: Case-control genetic association study in 197 Serbian POF cases and 552 matched controls. RESULTS: None of the SNPs found...
