摘要:

自然绝经年龄(ANM)是受基因与环境共同影响的复杂性状,其中基因影响较为突出。绝经年龄的提前或延迟与女性相关疾病有关。探讨基因作用对ANM的影响,有助于预测绝经后女性潜在的健康问题,并可为女性提供相关的健康指导。目前,全基因组关联研究及候选基因关联分析已发现数个基因与之相关,该文就ANM相关基因的研究进展予以综述。

Abstract:

Age at natural menopause (ANM) is a complex trait which is determined by genes and environment, and the genetic effects are prominent. Early or delayed menopause is associated with female-related diseases. Exploring genetic factors of ANM can help to predict the potential health problems of postmenopausal women, and may provide appropriate health guidance. It has been found by genome-wide association studies and candidate gene association studies that several genes are associated with ANM. The research progress of candidate genes of ANM is reviewed in this paper.

Key words: age at natural menopause, candidate gene, single nucleotide polymorphisms
