Could my infertility be genetic?

Genetic testing for infertility used to be limited to analysis of whole or partial chromosomes, such as karyotype or microarray. But now we have the technology and scientific knowledge to look for single-gene causes of infertility that aren’t detectable on big-picture genetic testing. These genes can cause changes in sperm or egg cells, hormone signaling, or reproductive anatomy and function that may lead to infertility. If you’re wondering if infertility is genetic, try one of our interactive quizzes to see if your symptoms suggest a genetic pattern.
