Abstract
FMR1 premutations are known to be associated with premature ovarian failure (POF), but the underlying mechanism is unknown. We present evidence for a nonlinear association between menopause age and premutation size suggesting that premutations in the mid-size range are at greatest risk for POF, while larger premutations are at lower risk.Entities:
