During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Studies on the genetics of female reproductive phenotypes has, with a few exceptions, somewhat lagged behind compared to other complex phenotypes, such as type 2 diabetes. Recent years have seen great progress for diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis, where international consortiums have been formed to accelerate research. At the same time there are still some reproductive health-related diseases and phenotypes for which the genetic background remains an uncharted territory. This talk will give a brief overview on recent findings from studies into the genetics of miscarriage, pelvic prolapse, and cervical phenotypes.
