Identify Novel Genes Responsible for Female Infertility and Recurrent Miscarriage

Couples with infertility and recurrent miscarriage suffer from not being able to have children. They visit the best specialists in different medical centers, sometimes in different cities and countries seeking help before their biological clock declines and many do not achieve pregnancies. The overarching goal of this project is to identify novel genes for female infertility and recurrent miscarriage, understand the mechanisms of these conditions to be able to test patients for mutations in these genes and consequently improve genetic counselling and management of these conditions. This will allow offering more patients personalized treatment directed to their exact defect.
