How Do Genetic Mutations Affect Gynecological Health?
Genetic mutations can influence a range of gynecological conditions, from cancers to congenital anomalies. For instance, mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes significantly increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancers. Other mutations can lead to conditions like endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and congenital uterine anomalies.
