Abstract excerpt
Bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) encodes an oocyte factor with a relevant role for folliculogenesis as homodimer or cumulin heterodimer (BMP15-GDF9). Heterozygous BMP15 variants in the precursor or mature peptide had been associated with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), but the underlying mechanism remains elusive and a double dose of BMP15 was suggested to be required for adequate ovarian reserve. We...
