Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a heterogeneous syndrome, possibly due to mutations of genes involved in the normal development of the ovary and/or follicles. Based essentially on animal models, these mutations are associated with various ovarian phenotypes, from a complete absence of follicles to a partial follicular maturation. The aim of the present study was to determine whether ovarian histology, compared to pelvic ultrasonography, would be helpful in identifying which patients display an impaired follicular reserve and/or growth, and in orientating the search for POF aetiology.
