Abstract：
OBJECTIVE:Studies have shown that age at natural menopause is heritable. Mutations in the FSH-receptor have been identified in women with premature ovarian failure (POF) and the FSH-receptor gene may, therefore, be considered a candidate gene for (early) menopausal age. This study investigates whether there is linkage between genetic markers in the FSH-receptor region and (early) age at menopause using a sib-pair design. DESIGN:Sib-pair based linkage analysis. SETTING:Sister pairs and their first-degree family members from The Netherlands. PATIENT(S):The inclusion criteria for a family were natural menopause in upper or lower tail of the distribution of menopausal age in at least two sisters. A total of 126 families with at least one sib-pair were included in this study. Six polymorphic markers encompassing the FSH-receptor gene were genotyped. INTERVENTION(S):None. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):Single point and multipoint logarithm of the odds (LOD) scores. RESULT(S):None of the markers showed evidence in favor of linkage with overall age at natural menopause or early age at natural menopause. CONCLUSION(S):Possibly, age at natural menopause in the more or less normal range is not part of the spectrum of phenotypes determined by mutations in the FSH-receptor gene. Alternatively, our results might be explained by genetic heterogeneity in the left tail of the distribution of menopausal age. This can limit the chance of finding a genetic locus, especially if this factor has a modest contribution to the phenotype.
