Developmental genetics of the male reproductive system -- Genetics and genomics of early gonad development -- Genetics of meiotic chromosome dynamics and fertility -- Effects of aging on sperm chromatin -- In vitro spermatogenesis from pluripotent stem cells -- Developmental genetics of the female reproductive tract -- The molecular genetics of oogenesis -- Epigenetic control of oocyte development -- RNA binding protein networks and translational regulation in oocytes -- Translational regulation of gene expression during oogenesis and preimplantation embryo development -- MicroRNAs in gametes and preimplantation embryos: clinical implications -- Part II: Embryo implantation, placenta development and pregnancy. Transcriptomics of the human endometrium and embryo implantation -- Epigenetic modifications in the human placenta -- MicroRNAs in pregnancy: implications for basic research and clinical management -- Genetics and genomics of preterm birth -- The intergenerational effects on fetal programming -- Part III: Infertility and assisted reproductive technology . Genetic testing in male infertility -- Genetics and genomics of endometriosis☆ -- Genetics and genomics of primary ovarian insufficiency -- Genetics of polycystic ovary syndrome -- Genetics and genomics of recurrent pregnancy loss -- Human genetics and assisted reproduction in endometriosis -- Uterine transplantation -- Part IV: Preimplantation/prenatal genetic diagnosis and screening. Epidemiology and genetics of human aneuploidy -- Next-generation sequencing for gene panels and clinical exomes -- Chromosomal microarrays and exome sequencing for diagnosis of fetal abnormalities -- Noninvasive prenatal testing for genetic diseases -- Noninvasive prenatal testing by cell-free DNA: technology, biology, clinical utility, and limitations -- Prenatal diagnosis and treatment of genetic steroid disorders -- Application of gene-editing technologies in embryos and their potential for gene therapy
Summary Human Reproductive and Prenatal Genetics presents the latest material from a detailed molecular, cellular and translational perspective. Considering its timeliness and potential international impact, this all-inclusive and authoritative work is ideal for researchers, students, and clinicians worldwide. Currently, there are no comprehensive books covering the field of human reproductive and prenatal genetics. As such, this book aims to be among the largest and most useful references available
