How much is genetic testing for infertility?
Some genetic conditions are well known and described as the ones that cause infertility. Even a single gene defect can lead to some health conditions that can, in turn, cause problems with your fertility. Also, abnormal chromosomes can be a direct cause of male infertility.
Any genetic tests that are routinely done for infertility and that’s because there are very few genetic causes as such for infertility. There are chromosome tests that become applicable in a situation of recurrent miscarriage or recurrent pregnancy loss and of course women who have a situation where their periods don’t start and we think they might suffer from Turner syndrome, should have a chromosomal test to look at their chromosomes to see if we can find a cause for the lack of ovarian function but beyond that, really genetic tests don’t really have a role in fertility itself.
