Early Menopause Test!!!

Hello Everyone! Today I'm going to talk about an articule related with the menopause.
Test could warn women of early menopause: http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2010/oct/18/test-women-early-menopause
The Scientists are developing a test to diagnose the early menopause in women younger than 35 years through a blood test. Among the advances that have allowed give a focus on developing this test, is the identification and understanding of 4 genes relevant to early menopause. This test would be beneficial for those women trying to become pregnant and who can’t conceive due to early menopause. Researchers from Exeter University' Peninsula Medical School and the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) examined the four genes. The Dr Anna Murray, says "It is estimated that a woman's ability to conceive decreases on average 10 years before she starts the menopause, and "Therefore those who are destined to have an early menopause and delay childbearing until their 30s are more likely to have problems conceiving. These findings are the first stage in developing an easy and relatively inexpensive genetic test which could help the one in 20 UK women who may be affected by early menopause." The published study in the journal “Human Molecular Genetics” is the first investigation, and with the collaboration of some organizations, pretends to keep track of 100,000 women over the next 40 years to determine lifestyles, environmental and genetic factors that make some women susceptible to most common cancer in women. The fertility experts said that genetics test prevents women who postpone childbearing to age 30 and realize they can’t conceive a pregnancy, and suddenly they find suffering from early menopause. As today there are more women who delay childbearing, this test can tell you in advance to women who carry genes that suffer from early menopause and that after to start the menopause is not there return. In my opinion this test is an excellent solution for women with early menopause, and who delayed motherhood for reasons such as personal fulfillment and work, enabling them to keep in mind who are carriers of genes. So, of this way, they can decide to have children earlier and avoid feeling frustrated with the idea of motherhood.
