Reproductive Health and Infertility

Reproductive Genetics and Genomics

This track delves into genetic and genomic factors influencing fertility, including chromosomal abnormalities, single-gene disorders, and epigenetic modifications. It focuses on recent advances in preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), genome editing, and the use of next-generation sequencing to diagnose and prevent hereditary infertility conditions. Participants will discuss how genetic counseling is integrated into fertility care and explore ethical, legal, and social implications of reproductive genetics. Cutting-edge research on gene-environment interactions and their effects on gamete quality and embryo development will be reviewed. This session fosters multidisciplinary collaboration among geneticists, reproductive specialists, and counselors to improve diagnostic accuracy and personalize treatment plans.
