Genes Control the Cessation of a Woman’s Reproductive Life: A Twin Study of Hysterectomy and Age at Menopause<sup>1</sup>

1 Jun 1998

Abstract excerpt

A classical twin study was performed to assess the extent to which genetic factors explain individual differences in age at menopause and (indications for) hysterectomy. It was further examined whether a genetic effect on the timing of the menopause was mediated through a genetic effect on age at menarche. The subjects were 275 monozygotic and 353 dizygotic female twin pairs. Maximum likelihood model fitting was...
