Gene polymorphisms in female reproduction / Casarini, L., Simoni, M.. - STAMPA. - 1154:(2014), pp. 75-90. [10.1007/978-1-4939-0659-8_4]
abstract:
This chapter presents an overview of the gene polymorphisms underlying the functions of ovarian receptors and their clinical implications in the female fecundity. A selection of genetic studies revealing significant associations between receptor polymorphisms, gene mutations, and some pathological conditions (i.e., female infertility, premature ovarian failure, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis) are reviewed.
