Abstract

Background: In Egypt, where research into the underlying cytogenetic and molecular causes of infertility is scarce, unexplained infertility presents a substantial clinical and emotional difficulty for many couples. This study attempts to fill a gap in knowledge on the chromosomal disorders that cause infertility in Egyptian couples.Methods: In order to compile research on cytogenetic and molecular anomalies in Egyptian couples with unexplained infertility, an extensive database search was performed. Translocations, inversions, and aneuploidies were the primary focus of this study. Studies discussing the diagnostic utility of chromosomal analysis and molecular markers were considered and critically appraised up to April 2023 for this review.Results: The results suggest that cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities are responsible for a significant proportion of unexplained infertility in Egypt. Disruption of gametogenesis, abnormal embryonic development, and problems with genomic imprinting have all been linked to chromosomal abnormalities, which are typically missed in routine infertility examinations. Improved understanding of the causes of infertility and the potential for individualized therapies has resulted from the development of genetic testing.Conclusions: There is a strong correlation between cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities and unexplained infertility in Egypt. It becomes clear that karyotypic and molecular chromosomal examination are essential parts of the diagnostic process for afflicted couples. This analysis highlights the need for improved diagnosis techniques and the creation of individualized treatments. The ethical implications of genetic testing and Assisted reproductive technology are substantial, calling for a careful weighing of technology advantages and moral issues. New genetic and chromosomal therapies show promise in reducing infertility problems, and they fit in with current trends in ethics, medicine, and scientific inquiry.Future Directions: Future research in reproductive genetics should aim to improve diagnosis accuracy and provide therapies that are targeted to individual genetic profiles. There is a need for both ethical norms and instructional initiatives to help couples make informed choices about genetic testing and reproductive treatments.
