Figure 1From: FMR1-dependent variability of ovarian aging patterns is already apparent in young oocyte donorsAMH levels and menarcheal age in donors with normal and PDFOR. (A) AMH levels, based on CGGn on the FMR1 gene in donors with normal FOR: AMH levels in the whole group differed significantly, based on FMR1 (P = 0.012), with the difference primarily being due to Asian patients (see text). Independent of FMR1, the figure demonstrates similar AMH levels in Caucasian and African donors. Asian women with low (CGGn<26) allele, however, demonstrate significantly higher AMH (P = 0.009) than Caucasians and Africans combined, and Asian women with CGGn=≥26 (P = 0.006); (B) demonstrates AMH levels in donors with PDFOR: here, all three races demonstrate lower AMH with low FMR1 allele, the difference almost reaching significance (P = 0.057); (C) demonstrates that with normal FOR age of menarche did not differ based on either race or FMR1 status; (D) in contrast, demonstrates with PDFOR there was significant interaction between CGGn and race (P = 0.018), with African donors reaching menarche at later age than Caucasians (P = 0.017) and Asians (P = 0.025), and amongst African donors those with CGGn<26 reaching menarche later than those with CGGn≥26 (P = 0.019).Back to article page
