Acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 6 is associated with premature ovarian failure.

To identify genes that are associated with premature ovarian failure, a linkage disequilibrium-based genome-wide association study with dense single nucleotide polymorphisms as genetic markers was performed. The acyl-coenzyme A synthetase long-chain family member 6 (ACSL6) gene on chromosome 5q31 was associated with premature ovarian failure and identified disease-susceptibility haplotypes.
