STAG3,
which encodes a cohesin, a protein that mediates chromosome pairing during meiosis.
Premature ovarian failure, the end point of primary ovarian insufficiency, affects approximately 1% of women worldwide. Patients with premature ovarian failure present with at least a 6-month history of amenorrhea and elevated plasma levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (>40 mIU per milliliter). The disorder can result from premature depletion of the follicle pool, follicular atresia, follicle growth arrest, or ovarian dysgenesis. Although a majority of cases are idiopathic, premature ovarian failure can be caused by infectious agents, chemotherapy, pelvic surgery, autoimmune disease, environmental factors, or genetic conditions.

The disorder is observed in syndromic diseases — for example, Turner's syndrome and BPES . . . |
