Informations about the disease

Clinical Comment

Infertility is defined as a disease of the reproductive system characterized by the failure to achieve a clinical pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse (WHO-ICMART). Accordingly, approximately 10% of women of reproductive age are unable to become pregnant or carry a pregnancy to term. Female factors alone account for at least one-third of all infertility cases and include a wide range of causes that affect ovarian development, oocyte maturation and fertilization competence as well as the potential of a fertilized oocyte for preimplantation development, implantation and fetal growth. Genetic abnormalities leading to infertility in women include chromosomal abnormalities, submicroscopic chromosomal deletions/duplications and DNA sequence variations in the many genes that control numerous biological processes involved in oogenesis, maintenance of ovarian reserve, hormonal signaling, anatomical and functional development of the female reproductive organs. The following genetic entities of disorders are included that are recurrent in infertility: Mosaic variegated aneuploidy syndrome, Mullerian aplasia in hyperandrogenism, oocyte maturation defects, ovarian dysgenesis, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, ovarian response to FSH stimulation, pregnancy loss, recurrent preimplantation embryo lethality, premature chromatid separation, premature ovarian failure and primary ovarian insufficiency. Yet, because very many cases of infertility are multifactorial, the molecular genetic yield is not precisely definable. An inconspicuous genetic finding does not mean exclusion of the suspected clinical diagnosis.

Laboratory requirement

  • Die in grün gezeigten Gene sind kuratiert und werden als Gen-Panel untersucht. Eine Erweiterung des Panels (blau gezeigte Gene, jeweils ebenfalls kuratiert) kann auf Anfrage erfolgen. Sofern unter "Erweitertes Panel" ein Minuszeichen angezeigt wird, sind nur Core-/Basis-Gene verfügbar.

  • Für die Anforderung einer genetischen Untersuchung senden Sie uns bitte die Krankheits-ID auf einem Überweisungsschein. Bitte die Material-Angabe beachten.

  • Für privat versicherte Patienten empfehlen wir einen Antrag auf Kostenübernahme bei der Krankenversicherung.

  • Die Untersuchung wird auch für Selbstzahler angeboten.
