Highlights ■ The MCM8 gene is involved in homologous recombination, acting in the ovarian follicles during meiosis II. ■ To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report the presence of this variant in a Brazilian woman. ■ The rs138761187 variant had a low incidence; further studies with a larger sample size or focusing on variants at other gene positions may provide insight into the genetic causes of premature ovarian insufficiency. ABSTRACT Introduction: The MCM8 gene […]
