Genetics of traits you don't discuss over Sunday brunch - novel findings for female reproductive phenotypes
If you would like to attend the seminar please contact seminars@wrh.ox.ac.uk for the MS Teams meeting link.
Studies on the genetics of female reproductive phenotypes has, with a few exceptions, somewhat lagged behind compared to other complex phenotypes, such as type 2 diabetes. Recent years have seen great progress for diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis, where international consortiums have been formed to accelerate research. At the same time there are still some reproductive health-related diseases and phenotypes for which the genetic background remains an uncharted territory. This talk will give a brief overview on recent findings from studies into the genetics of miscarriage, pelvic prolapse, and cervical phenotypes.
