Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify novel susceptibility genes for age at natural menopause (ANM). METHODS: Using transcription data generated in tissues from normal hypothalami (n = 73) and ovaries (n = 68) and high-density genotyping data provided by the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) database, we built 16 164 genetic models to predict gene expression across the transcriptome in these tissues. We used these models and...
