Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Germline mutations of BRCA1 and BRCA2 may impair DNA repair in the ovarian cortex, leading to increased oocyte apoptosis, thus, affecting ovarian reserve. Aim of this study was to assess follicular density in ovarian biopsies from women with breast cancer carrying BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations who underwent ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) at our center. METHODS: This was a single center,...
