What types of genetic disorders are relevant to gynecology?
Several genetic disorders are particularly pertinent in gynecology. These include BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations which significantly increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancers. Other conditions include Lynch syndrome, which predisposes women to endometrial and ovarian cancers, and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), which has a genetic component. Turner syndrome and Fragile X syndrome also impact reproductive health.
