In our 🆕 peer perspectives article we address 2 🔥 questions: ❄️ Is freezing gametes/tissue the only strategy to circumvent the harm of chemotherapy on the ovary? 💊 Are chemoprotective agents the future or fertility preservation? 🔗 academic.oup.com/humrep/adva…

An estimated 1 in 350 people carry germline BRCA1/2 mutations, which confer an increased risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer & may also contribute to subfertility.

Given the critical role of the BRCA proteins in mediating DNA repair, our data extend current knowledge of quality control mechanisms in the germline & lay foundations for future studies to test specific effects of genotoxic insults on oocytes in context of loss of BRCA1. 🧬

Together, our data demonstrate that BRCA1 is a key regulator of oocyte number and quality in females and suggest that caution should be used in relying on AMH as a reliable marker of the ovarian reserve in this context.
