The discovery shows that humans are not the only primate to live beyond their reproductive years and adds mystery to this apparent evolutionary illogic

Die Wechseljahre bedeuten das Ende der Fruchtbarkeit. Wann sie eintreten, ist genetisch bestimmt. Forscher haben die betreffenden Gene identifiziert.

New genetic variants are found to influence the age at which women attain menopause, thereby giving a detailed understanding of reproductive aging.

Study offers genetic insights into the underlying biology of reproductive aging The age at which women go through menopause is critical for fertility and impacts healthy aging in women, but reproductive aging has been difficult for scientists to study and insights into the underlying biology are limited. Now, scientists have identified nearly 300 gene variations that influence reproductive lifespan in women. Additionally, in mice, they have successfully manipulated several key genes associated with these variants to extend their reproductive lifespan. Their findings, published today in Natur...
