Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), or premature ovarian failure, results from ovarian follicle depletion with a consequent elevation of FSH levels before age 40 years. We identified a family in which 9 women in 3 consecutive generations developed menopause at approximately age 30 years. We hypothesized a genetic cause with a dominant mode of inheritance.
