WES analysis of twenty young women under 35 years old affected by DOR without definite factors damaging ovarian reserve and five women with normal ovarian reserve were performed in this study. As a result, we obtained a set of mutated genes that may be related to DOR, where the missense variant on GPR84 was selected for further study. It is found that GPR84Y370H variant promotes the expression of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL12B, IL-1β) and chemokines (CCL2, CCL5), as well as the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway. Conclusion: In conclusion, GPR84Y370H variant was identified though analysis for WES results of 20 DOR patients. The deleterious variant of GPR84 could be the potential molecular mechanism of non-age-related pathological DOR through its role in promoting inflammation. The findings of this study can be used as a preliminary research basis for the development of early molecular diagnosis and treatment target selection of DOR.
