- Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of microRNA polymorphisms (miR-25T>C, miR-32C>A, miR-125C>T, and miR-222G>T) with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) in Korean women., Methods: We conducted a case-control study of Korean women: 142 participants with POI and 266 controls with at least 1 live birth and no history of pregnancy loss., Results: The haplotype-based multifactor dimensionality reduction analysis revealed that the T-C-T-G (miR-25/-32/-125/-222), T-A-C-G (miR-25/-32/-125/-222), C-T-G (miR-32/-125/-222), A-C-G (miR-32/-125/-222), T-G (miR-122/-222), C-T (miR-32/-125), and C-C (miR-25/-32) inferred haplotypes were significantly less frequent in POI (P < 0.05), which suggested potential protective effects. Participants with POI had significantly increased luteinizing hormone levels (P < 0.05), but hormonal levels, including luteinizing hormone, were not significantly different between POI women and control women with miR-32/-125/-222., Conclusions: After considering multiple comparisons, we concluded that miR-25T>C, miR-32C>A, miR-125C>T, and miR-222G>T had no relation with POI.
