Unlocking the Power of Molecular Genetic Testing in Reproductive Disorders

This comprehensive textbook by Rajender Singh highlights the significance of molecular genetic testing in reproductive medicine, covering a wide range of reproductive system anomalies and disorders.

Comprehensive Coverage of Genetic Testing in Reproductive Medicine

• Disorders of sexual development
• Male infertility (Y deletions, autosomal mutations, sperm DNA fragmentation)
• Female infertility (PCOS and POF)
• Mitochondrial DNA testing for oocyte quality
• Recurrent pregnancy loss and pre-term birth
• Endometrial receptivity and prenatal genetic screening
• Reproductive carrier screening and preimplantation genetic screening
• Endometrial cancer, cervical cancer, and other related reproductive health disorders
• Microbiome testing and its contribution to genetic testing in reproductive medicine

The book discusses the current state of genetic testing in reproductive medicine, including areas where testing has become a standard practice, those where it is established but not yet clinically practiced, and those where further research is needed to generate sufficient data.

Challenges and Future Directions in Genetic Testing

The book also explores the ethical, moral, and technical challenges in genetic testing in reproductive medicine, highlighting the need for further research and data generation to overcome these challenges.

By providing a comprehensive overview of genetic testing in reproductive medicine, this book aims to set a standard for the field, provide food for thought in areas of lacunae, and serve as a valuable resource for graduate students, researchers, clinicians, professors, and patients alike.
