Abstract

The paper carries out a systems analysis of the data available in the current literature on menarche as a pubertal stage and its molecular genetic determinants. It presents studies of menarche formation during pubertal development, as well as molecular genetic factors for its determinants. According to the literature, age at menarche is an important indicator of pubertal development in a woman and has molecular genetic determinants.
