Background: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is an ovarian defect characterized from primary or secondaryamenorrhea, high levels of FSH (> 25 UI/l) and low levels of estrogen, which occurs before age 40.Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical features and genetic causes of a group of 68 patients with POI.Methods: We performed anamnestic and clinical evaluation, hormonal and autoimmunity assessment, pel...

Background/aims: Prostatic specific antigen (PSA) is the best prostatic tumor marker in man; Recently PSA has been detected in a variety of tissues and fluids in women and is considered a marker of hyperandrogenism. However no precise information are avaible about the physiology of PSA in females. The goal of this study was to assess serum concentrations of PSA in healthy pre-menopausal women (healthy pre-menopausal group) and menopausal women (menopause group) and compare the...
