Overview

There are no established risk factors for [disease name].

OR

The most potent risk factor in the development of [disease name] is [risk factor 1]. Other risk factors include [risk factor 2], [risk factor 3], and [risk factor 4].

OR

Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] include [risk factor 1], [risk factor 2], [risk factor 3], and [risk factor 4].

OR

Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] may be occupational, environmental, genetic, and viral.

Risk Factors

• Preterm birth is a risk factor for developing sex cord-stromal tumors
• High gonadotropin levels in preterm girls could mediate disease risk by the proliferative and steroidogenic effects of FSH and LH on granulosa and theca cells

High circulating levels of androgens during pregnancy were associated with increased risk of maternal sex-cord stromal tumors(

suggesting that elevated androgens may also play a role in the pathogenesis of sex-cord stromal tumors
