What Are the Genetic Factors Influencing Oocyte Quality?
Genetic factors play a significant role in determining oocyte quality. Mutations or abnormalities in specific genes can affect oocyte development and maturation. Research is ongoing to identify these genetic factors and develop targeted therapies to improve oocyte quality. For example, mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes have been linked to reduced ovarian reserve, impacting oocyte quality and increasing the risk of infertility and neonatal disorders.
