We found that four polymorphisms in the protein L-isoaspartyl-O-methyltransferase (PCMT1) gene, encoding a protein repair enzyme, are associated with premature ovarian failure (POF). All four polymorphisms were in strong linkage disequilibrium. The frequencies of two haplotypes were statistically significantly different between the POF group and the matched control group.
