Riassunto

This textbook illustrates the importance and significance of molecular genetic testing in reproductive disorders. The present book covers the genetic testing in various reproductive system anomalies, including 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 and other related reproductive health disorders. Microbiome testing and its contribution to genetic testing in reproductive medicine are also discussed. Genetic testing in some of these has already come into practice, genetic testing for others is established but not clinically practiced, and genetic testing for others is yet in infancy as there is only limited data available. For the disorderswhere sufficient genetic data to undertake genetic testing is not available, we have tried to put together the evidence for proposing such tests in the near future. Apart from this, the book also covers ethical, moral and technical challenges in genetic testing in reproductive medicine. The book aims to set up a standard with regard to genetic testing in the reproductive medicine field, encourage further data generation, and provide food for thought in the areas of lacunae. The book serves graduate students, researchers, clinicians, professors, and patients in the field of reproductive medicine.?
