The preliminary results of an international collaborative study examining premature menopause in fragile X carriers are presented. A total of 760 women from fragile X families was surveyed about their fragile X carrier status and their menstrual and reproductive histories. Among the subjects, 395 carried a premutation, 128 carried a full mutation, and 237 were noncarriers. Sixty-three (16%) of the premutation carriers had experienced menopause prior to the age of 40 compared with none of the full mutation carriers and one (0.4%) of the controls. Based on these preliminary data, there is a significant association between fragile X premutation carrier status and premature menopause.
本文展示了一项关于脆性X染色体携带者过早绝经的国际合作研究的初步结果。对来自脆性X染色体相关家族的760名女性进行了调查,询问她们的脆性X染色体携带者状态以及月经和生殖史。在这些受试者中,395人携带前突变,128人携带全突变,237人是非携带者。63名(16%)前突变携带者在40岁之前经历了绝经,而全突变携带者中无人在40岁之前绝经,对照组中只有1人(0.4%)在40岁之前绝经。基于这些初步数据,脆性X染色体前突变携带者状态与过早绝经之间存在显著关联。
