This project aims to show how genetic testing can help diagnose female reproductive issues, such as infertility or recurrent miscarriage. These problems affect about 15% of couples of childbearing ages, with over half caused by factors related to the woman. Often, the underlying cause is unknown, and many women turn to medically assisted reproduction (MAR) clinics—though only about 30% currently receive these services.
Recent discoveries of genes linked to infertility mean that 10–25% of women could receive a precise genomic diagnosis. This could guide personalized treatments, improve success rates at MAR clinics, and reduce the emotional and financial burden on patients. It would also save healthcare resources, allowing them to be used in other areas of the system.
