Abstract
⺠Lin28 proteins regulate micro RNAs and are implicated in germ cell development. ⺠We assessed LIN28A and LIN28B in the early human ovary and testis. ⺠Expression of LIN28A increases in the developing ovary between 6 and 9 weeks conception. ⺠Expression of LIN28B was lower and did not change. ⺠Alterations in LIN28A were not found in women with primary ovarian insufficiency.
