Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is one of the main causes of female premature infertility. POI is a genetically heterogeneous disorder with a complex molecular etiology; as such, the genetic causes remain unknown in the majority of patients. Therefore, this study aimed to identify mutations and characterize the associated molecular contribution of gonadogenesis-determinant genes to POI. Genomic assays, including PCR-SSCP and Sanger sequencing, followed by in silico analyses were used to investigate the underpinnings of ovarian deficiency in 11 women affected by POI. Large deletions and nucleotide insertions and duplications were excluded by PCR. Thirteen genetic variants were identified in the WT1 (c.213G>T, c.609T>C, c.873A>G, c.1122G>A), NR0B1 (c.353C>T, c.425G>A), NR5A1 (c.437G>C, IVS4-20C>T), LHX9 (IVS2-12G>C, IVS3+13C>T, c.741T>C), ZNF275 (c.969C>T), and NRIP1 (c.3403C>T) genes. Seven novel genetic variants and five unpublished substitutions were identified. No genetic aberrations were detected in the ZFP92 and INSL3 genes. Each variant was genotyped using PCR-SSCP in 100 POI-free subjects, and their allelic frequencies were similar to the patients. These analyses indicated that allelic variation in the WT1, NR0B1, NR5A1, LHX9, ZFP92, ZNF275, INSL3, and NRIP1 genes may be a non-disease-causing change or may not contribute significantly to the genetics underlying POI disorders. Findings support the polygenic nature of this clinical disorder, with the SNVs identified representing only a probable contribution to the variability of the human genome.
