A possible contribution of the SPNS2 variation to POI was not strictly ruled out, but various data presented in the text including reported association of variations in related gene ALOX12 with menopause-age and role of ALOX12B in atretic bovine follicle formation argue in favor of ALOX12B. It is, therefore, concluded that the mutation in ALOX12B is the likely cause of POI in the pedigree.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
