OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, 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.
