Genetic disorders in premature ovarian failure.

This review presents the genetic disorders associated with premature ovarian failure (POF), obtained by Medline, the Cochrane Library and hand searches of pertinent references of English literature on POF and genetic determinants cited between the year 1966 and February 2002.

I-36: The Necessity of Genetic Screening in Premature Ovarian Failure and Diminished Ovarian Reserved Patients

Variability in the subfertile patient population excludes the possibility of a single approach to controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) covering all the requirements of a patient. Modern medical science has made great advances in the understanding and the development of new drugs, treatment options and quantitative methods that can identify single patient characteristics. Factors that reduce fol...
