Genomic analysis in gynecology can be applied for several purposes:
Cancer Risk Assessment: Genetic testing can identify mutations in genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, which significantly increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancers. Infertility: Genetic evaluations can help identify chromosomal abnormalities or mutations that may cause infertility. Prenatal Screening: Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) can detect genetic disorders such as Down syndrome early in pregnancy. Endometriosis: Genomic studies can help understand the genetic basis of endometriosis, potentially leading to better treatments.
