  • Publication number: 20220389069
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions relating to modified proteins of Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) for regulating folliculogenesis in a woman, and in particular regulating follicle activation and maturation and immature (primordial) follicle depletion. In certain embodiments, regulating or inhibiting folliculogenesis in a woman treats ovarian senescence, pauses or slows down ovarian aging and/or delays the onset of menopause and/or the symptoms related to menopause, premature ovarian decline induced by gonadotoxic treatment, or diseases or conditions caused by genetic mutations in genes regulating folliculogenesis and ovarian biology.

  • Publication number: 20200017912
    Abstract: Methods for assessing infertility and related pathologies and informing treatment type and timing thereof are provided. According to certain embodiments, methods of the invention include determining levels of one or more transcripts present in a sample obtained from a subject suspected of having endometriosis, identifying transcript levels that correspond to a regulation pattern specific to a time-point in a uterine cycle, and characterizing endometriosis of the subject based upon the identified transcript levels. The invention includes methods for assessing age-associated increase in aneuploidy rates based on FSH levels and IVF success rates based on obesity in PCOS patients.

  • Publication number: 20170262580
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and systems for assessing risk of infertility and ovarian dysfunction and/or diminished ovarian reserve and/or for determining an appropriate course of treatment. In some embodiments, the invention provides methods for assessing likelihood of ovarian dysfunction, including identifying a plurality of genetic variants that are filtered into functional biological pathways. The frequency distribution of the variants in each functional pathway is then compared to frequency distributions obtained from reference sets corresponding to each pathway. Further embodiments of the invention comprise clustering subjects based on patterns in their genetic variants, and identifying phenotypic differences with respect to ovarian dysfunction between clusters of patients.
