Amid no one can predictions timing of menopause, some scientists found 13 new areas in the genes associated with early cessation of menstrual periods permanently.
Doctor Anna Murray from the Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry and Dr. John Perry of Oxford University, who led the study believe their findings will help predict a woman’s reproductive age.
In their study, they analyzed the genetic cells of about 50 thousand women. “These new findings highlight the reproductive age related biological pathways, as well as add insight related to a number of diseases associated with menopause,” said Perry, as quoted from the Daily Mail.
A number of previous studies linking menopausal women with breast cancer and a number of diseases such as heart cardiovascular. This relates to reduced production of estrogen after menopause.
“Menopause is a period in which the majority of women will experience it, but they have little time travel information that regulate key events in her life,” Murray added.
Doctor Murray hopes, by finding out the genes that control the timing of menopause, we can understand the difference between the time of menopause in women. “Why does menopause occur very early for some women, and reduce the chances of having children naturally.”
Following a study published in the journal Nature Genetics, the research team investigating the case of women who experienced menopause very early, before age 45. This investigation to determine the case was related to their new found genes.
In the middle of the development of the study, a team of researchers from St Andrews, Glasgow and Edinburgh developed a hormone test to help women know their fertility cycle, as well as predict the timing of menopause.
Tests done by looking at chemistry changes as women of reproductive age. This chemical change would be an indicator to show the number of remaining eggs in the ovaries. Not only can predict the timing of menopause, the test is also claimed to detect a trend of early menopause.
