Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study aims to explore the genetic pathogenesis of diminished ovarian reserve via whole-genome sequencing technology in Chinese women.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), a pathological condition of reduced quantity and quality of oocytes, has severe impairment on women fertility. Some women experience DOR may develop into premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), which defined as a cessation of function of ovaries in women younger than 40 years old. The pathogenesis of DOR is multiple and the etiology of most DOR remains obscure. Genetic factors, including chromosome abnormality, genetic variation, and non-coding RNA abnormal regulation are considered the major mechanisms of DOR. More than 12 gene mutations, detected by whole-exome sequencing (WES), have been implicated as potential causes of DOR. However, we have found that coding gene mutation detected by WES may only account for a small part of DOR. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has been developing into an important strategy for identifying exons, introns and mitochondrial DNA mutation. However, the application of WGS is still lacking in detecting pathogenic genes of DOR. Therefore, this study intends to explore the possible pathogenic genes by WGS in order to deeply and comprehensively understand the pathogenic mechanism of DOR.

Intervention Type OTHER

Whole-genome sequencing will be preformed for each participate to explore the potential disease-causing genes of DOR.

Control group

Participants with normal ovarian reserve will be recruited as control group and peripheral blood leukocytes genomic DNA will be extracted to perform whole-genome sequencing.
