Genetic evidence that lower circulating FSH levels lengthen menstrual cycle, increase age at menopause, and impact reproductive health: a UK Biobank study

2015-10-01

Abstract excerpt

Study question: How does a genetic variant altering follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels, which we identified as associated with length of menstrual cycle, more widely impact reproductive health? <h4>Summary: </h4> answer: The T allele of the FSHB promoter polymorphism (rs10835638) results in longer menstrual cycles and later menopause and, while having detrimental effects on fertility, is protective agains...
