Genetic background of gynecological diseases

Rare gynecological diseases with genetic origin


Risks related to Klinefelter syndrome

The phenotypic consequences of hypergonadotropic hypogonadism usually reveal themselves in young adulthood, and are characteristically progressive. Testicular dysfunction affects spermatogenesis and testosterone synthesis. The higher estradiol/testosterone rate is a risk factor for metabolic syndrome and other comorbidities. Higher frequency of type 2 diabetes mellitus is explained by high risk obesity (larger abdominal circumference, decreased muscle mass), increased LDL cholesterol, triglyceride, leptin and CRP levels, and concurrently decreased insulin resistance. KS males are at an increased risk for disorders usually affecting females (osteoporosis, polyarthritis, lupus erythematosus, Sjögren’s syndrome), the risk of breast cancer is particularly high (20-50%) in males with gynecomastia.

Our book was written with the intention of filling a gap. It is the work of specialists - university lecturers, researchers, clinicians - who come across the described symptoms in their daily practice.

Many previously published publications deal with the gynecological pathologies discussed in the volume, but from the perspective of genetics as an etiological factor, focusing on the genetic background of pathological conditions and women's diseases, no book has yet been published. Nowadays, science is developing rapidly, and almost all diseases are subjected to genetic testing during research. For this reason, only those pathologies will be presented for which the tests so far have clearly confirmed the genetic background, that is, those pathologies for which the possibility of a genetic cause has arisen, but cannot yet be clearly proven, do not form the material of the book.

We recommend the book primarily to health professionals, geneticists, obstetricians and gynecologists, pedoatric gynecologists, and pediatricians, and those preparing for special exams. Medical students and midwifery students interested in the topic can find important information in it, and it can also be useful for "non-specialists".
