Trial summary

Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI), first described by Albright in 1942, is defined as an increase in Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), an insufficiency of the ovarian function leading to an early menopause (<40 years of age).Today, only 35% of POI's etiology can be explained.

About this study

Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI), first described by Albright in 1942, is defined as an increase in Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), an insufficiency of the ovarian function leading to an early menopause (<40 years of age).Today, only 35% of POI's etiology can be explained. Causes enlightening POI may be enumerated as follows, according to their frequency: genetic mutations, autoimmune defects and abnormalities detected on the X chromosome.The purpose of the study is to determine the frequency of the genetic abnormalities and polymorphisms described above in the POI Turkish population

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

healthy control group4 ml of whole blood is going to taken from healthy control group

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Genetic etiology in Premature ovarian Insufficiency

    In the framework of our project, abnormalities on the X chromosome will be studied by karyotyping, follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR),nuclear receptor subfamily 5,group A,member 1 (NR5A1),Newborn ovary homeobox gene (NOBOX),Bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) genes will be analyzed by sequencing and finally repeat size analysis for FMR1 gene will be performed fragment analyses, on 75 POI and 25 healthy control population.Collected data will enable us to determine the frequency of the abnormalities and polymorphisms described above in the POI Turkish population. Patients free of those genetic variants will help us to identify new loci or genes implicated in POI.

    Measured: up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Primary Ovarian Insufficiency and Genetic Predisposition to Disease, run by BEGUM AYDOGAN at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Genetic etiology in Premature ovarian Insufficiency (time frame: up to 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Aug 2017.
