CONGRESS 2023 - Genetics and the Fertility Clinic

Learning outcomes

Andrology under Laboratory Medicine will often involve a multi-disciplinary approach and the patient may have to undergo further tests.  These tests are often (but not exclusively) undertaken by nurses and consultants and can impact the direction and management of the couple.  Some of these tests will include Cytogenetics. 

The results of these tests can dramatically impact the couple, the man and subsequent management.  The knowledge and understanding of these tests is often discussed from a clinical perspective but Biomedical Scientists may not be as fully involved and therefore would benefit from a wider understanding of male specific genetic influences.
