Washington, September 22: A study of mice by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center has uncovered about 350 genes related to female fertility, opening the door to much wider study in the poorly understood field of infertility.
“This study gives us a way to begin to understand the causes of female infertility. It gives us a much more complete list of candidate genes to explore. Before, we didn’t even know where to look,” said Dr. Diego Castrillon, assistant professor of pathology and senior author of the study.
