How Do Genes Affect Menstrual Cycle and Fertility?
Genetic variations can influence the hormonal regulation of the menstrual cycle. For instance, mutations in the FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone) receptors can lead to menstrual irregularities and impact fertility. Additionally, genetic conditions such as Turner Syndrome and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) can have a direct effect on menstrual health and fertility.
