Premature ovarian failure 2A(POF2A)

MedGen UID:
336902
•Concept ID:
C1845293
•
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: Premature Ovarian Failure 2a
 
Gene (location): DIAPH2 (Xq21.33)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0010350
OMIM®: 300511

Definition

Premature ovarian failure-2A (POF2A) is a defect of ovarian development and is characterized by primary or secondary amenorrhea, with elevated levels of serum gonadotropins, or by early menopause (Bione et al., 1998). Sala et al. (1997) and Bione et al. (1998) suggested that several genes in a region defined as POF2 (Xq13.3-q22) can influence ovary development and/or oogenesis. For a phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of premature ovarian failure, see POF1 (311360). [from OMIM]

Premature ovarian insufficiency
MedGen UID:
9963
•Concept ID:

•
Disease or Syndrome
Amenorrhea due to loss of ovarian function before the age of 40. Primary ovarian inssuficiency (POI) is a state of female hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. It can manifest as primary amenorrhea with onset before menarche or secondary amenorrhea.
