Evidence for an FMR1 mRNA Gain-Of-Function Toxicity Mechanism in the Pathogenesis of Fragile-X Associated Premature Ovarian Insufficiency
2021-09-28
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Fragile X-associated premature ovarian insufficiency (FXPOI) is caused by expansion of a CGG repeat sequence located in the 5’ untranslated region of the <italic>FMR1</italic> gene. Women with FXPOI have a depleted ovarian reserve, resulting in amenorrhea, hypoestrogenism, and loss of fertility before the age of 40. FXPOI is caused by CGG sequence expansions to lengths between 55 and 20...
