Research & evidence

Well-established

Female factor

Karyotyping and FMR1 (fragile-X) premutation testing are guideline-recommended parts of the premature-ovarian-insufficiency and reduced-ovarian-reserve workup.

Limitations: These tests identify risk factors, not certainties. The FMR1 premutation is incompletely penetrant: it raises the risk of ovarian insufficiency but does not predict whether or when it will occur.
