2. 1. Molecular Characterisation of Structural Chromosomal Abnormalities Associated with Congenital Disorders

   Author : Mahmoud R. Mansouri; Niklas Dahl; Hans Van Bokhoven; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Genetics; Chromosomal abnormalities; Mental retardation; Hypospadias and anal malformation; Premature ovarian failure; Autism; Array-CGH; ZDHHC15; Genetik;

   Abstract : Chromosomal abnormalities are defined as changes in the chromosome structure and fall in one of two categories. The first category is numerical alterations while the second category consists of structural abnormalities. Structural chromosomal abnormalities do not always interrupt genes in order to cause disease. READ MORE

4. 2. Human ovarian follicle recruitment : an in vitro approach

   Author : Jennifer E Scott; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Following the first reports of successful cryopreservation of human ovarian tissue, the freezing and banking of such tissue has become common practice worldwide for the preservation of fertility. Patients include those at risk of premature ovarian failure, women and girls with Turner's syndrome, and cancer patients for whom radiation or cytotoxic treatments are likely to destroy their reproductive potential.

5. 3. Ovarian response to vascular and toxic insults in early life : focus on ovarian reserve and fertility preservation

   Author : Valentina Pampanini; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The ovarian reserve is defined as the number of eggs embodied in primordial follicles. Every woman is born with a fixed number of primordial follicles, which are formed during fetal development. Pathological events can affect the ovarian reserve both preand postnatally and cause a premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), i.e. READ MORE

6. 4. Clinical grade vitrification of human ovarian tissue for fertility preservation

   Author : Mona Sheikhi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Cryopreservation of human ovarian tissue is one approach to preserve fertility for women who can be predicted to undergo premature ovarian failure as a consequence of chemotherapy, radiotherapy or genetic disorders. It is the most suitable option for pre-pubertal girls and for many young women to store oocytes. READ MORE

7. 5. Preservation of fertility through cryopreservation and in vitro maturation of human ovarian follicles and oocytes

   Author : Julius Hreinsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Oocyte; maturation in-vitro; cryopreservation; ovarian follicles; culture; IVM; preservation of fertility;

   Abstract : One of the most rapidly expanding fields in assisted reproduction is the preservation of fertility for young women at risk of premature ovarian failure. This may be caused by cytotoxic therapy or other reasons. Cryopreservation of follicles in ovarian tissue has been successful in animal models with live young being born. READ MORE
