Unveiling the Importance of Molecular Genetic Testing in Reproductive Disorders

This comprehensive textbook delves into the significance of molecular genetic testing in reproductive medicine, covering a wide range of reproductive system anomalies and disorders.

Disorders Covered

• 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
• Pre-term birth
• Endometrial receptivity
• Prenatal genetic screening
• Reproductive carrier screening
• Preimplantation genetic screening
• Endometrial cancer
• Cervical cancer
• Other related reproductive health disorders

Furthermore, the book explores the role of microbiome testing in genetic testing for reproductive medicine. The author discusses the current state of genetic testing in each of these areas, highlighting where testing has already been implemented, where it is established but not yet in practice, and where further research is needed.

Challenges and Future Directions

In addition to discussing the applications of genetic testing, the book also tackles the ethical, moral, and technical challenges associated with its implementation in reproductive medicine. It proposes areas where genetic testing could be developed in the near future and sets a standard for the field, encouraging further research and data generation.

This comprehensive resource is ideal for graduate students, researchers, clinicians, professors, and patients seeking to understand the role of molecular genetic testing in reproductive medicine.
