Unveiling the Latest Advances in Human Reproductive and Prenatal Genetics

Edited by renowned experts Peter C.K. Leung and Jie Qiao, the second edition of Human Reproductive and Prenatal Genetics offers a comprehensive and application-driven exploration of the latest discoveries in human reproductive and prenatal genetics.

The Genetics of Human Reproduction and Fertilization

This authoritative volume delves into the genetic control underlying the development of reproductive tracts and gametogenesis, as well as the genetics of fertilization and implantation. The book also examines the genetic basis of female and male infertility, and the genetic and epigenetic aspects of assisted reproduction.

The Placenta in Normal and Abnormal Pregnancy

The genetics and epigenetics of the placenta play a critical role in pregnancy outcomes. This edition provides in-depth coverage of the placenta’s role in normal and abnormal pregnancy, including preimplantation genetic diagnosis and screening, and cutting-edge advances in noninvasive prenatal screening.

New Chapters and Emerging Technologies

This fully revised edition incorporates new chapters on chromatin landscapes and sex determination, genetic alterations of placental development and preeclampsia, metabolism and inflammation in PCOS, pre-implantational genetic testing, maternal genetic disorders, bioethics, and future applications.

Contributions from leading international scientists and clinicians ensure that readers are informed about the latest research and its practical applications in the lab and clinic.

Comprehensive Coverage and Implementation of Novel Approaches

This comprehensive resource provides in-depth coverage of key topics in human reproductive and prenatal genetics, including:

• Genetic controls and fertilization
• Placental development and embryo implantation
• In vitro culture of the human embryo for the study of post-implantation development
• And more

The book identifies how researchers and clinicians can implement the latest genetic, epigenetic, and omics-based approaches to advance the field of reproductive medicine.

Human Reproductive and Prenatal Genetics, Second Edition is an indispensable resource for researchers, clinicians, and students seeking to stay abreast of the latest advances and discoveries in human reproductive and prenatal genetics.
