Meta-analyses identify 13 loci associated with age at menopause and highlight DNA repair and immune pathways
Abstract
Kathryn Lunetta and colleagues report a meta-analysis of 22 genome-wide association studies for age at menopause. They identify 13 loci newly associated with age at natural menopause, including several candidate genes with roles in DNA repair and immune function.
