Regulation of the reproductive cycle and early pregnancy by relaxin family peptides.

Anand-Ivell R1, Ivell R.Author information 1Leibniz Institute for Farm Animal Biology, 18196 Dummerstorf, Germany.AbstractThe relaxin family of peptide hormones are structurally closely related to one another sharing a heterodimeric A-B structure, like that of insulin. They may also be active as unprocessed B-C-A pro-forms. Relaxin has been shown to pay a key role within the ovary, being involved in follicle growth, and ovulation. Relaxin is produced in large amounts also by the corpus luteum where it acts as an endocrine hormone positively affecting implantation, placentation and vascularization during the all-important first trimester phase of pregnancy establishment. Relaxin exerts its functions via the receptor RXFP1. Insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) in contrast acts through the related receptor RXFP2, and plays an essential role in the production of androgens within growing antral follicles. INSL3 is also produced in large amounts by the male fetus shortly after sex determination, where it controls the first transabdominal phase of testicular descent. However, this fetal INSL3 is also able to influence placental and maternal physiology, indicating associations with later preeclampsia and/or fetal growth restriction. Other members of this relaxin-like family of peptides, such as INSL4, INSL5 and INSL6 are less well studied, though all suggest modulatory roles in ovarian and/or placental function.

Cross-ethnic meta-analysis of genetic variants for polycystic ovary syndrome.

Louwers YV1, Stolk L, Uitterlinden AG, Laven JS.Author information 1MD, Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Room Na-1524, Erasmus MC, P.O. Box 2040, 3000 CA Rotterdam, The Netherlands. y.louwers@erasmusmc.nl.AbstractCONTEXT: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed new susceptibility loci for Chinese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Because ethnic background adds to phenotypic diversities in PCOS, it seems plausible that genetic variants associated with PCOS act differently in various ethnic populations.

Large-scale genotyping identifies a new locus at 22q13.2 associated with female breast size.

Li J1, Foo JN, Schoof N, Varghese JS, Fernandez-Navarro P, Gierach GL, Quek ST, Hartman M, Nord S, Kristensen VN, Pollán M, Figueroa JD, Thompson DJ, Li Y, Khor CC, Humphreys K, Liu J, Czene K, Hall P.Author information 1Human Genetics, Genome Institute of Singapore, Singapore, Singapore.AbstractBACKGROUND: Individual differences in breast size are a conspicuous feature of variation in human females and have been associated with fecundity and advantage in selection of mates. To identify common variants that are associated with breast size, we conducted a large-scale genotyping association meta-analysis in 7169 women of European descent across three independent sample collections with digital or screen film mammograms.
