Why some people enter menopause early - and how that could affect their cancer risk
Briefly

Genetic studies revealing influential rare variants that affect menopause timing illuminate potential new avenues for treatments targeting infertility and predicting reproductive outcomes.
Looking at over 100,000 women, the research unveiled genes that govern entry into menopause, revealing how genetic variants could inform infertility treatments.
The findings highlight that while age at menopause is known to be influenced by both environmental and genetic factors, rare variants can offer profound insights.
By using the comprehensive data from the UK Biobank, researchers identified nine novel genetic variants tied to menopause, enhancing understanding of ovarian ageing.
