Despite the rapid advances in medical genetics, many clinicians and investigators remain unaware of the general approaches that can be used to map genes. Although there are specific challenges to using genetic approaches in reproductive medicine, the following report summarizes mapping efforts for three diseases: adrenal hypoplasia congenita, hypergonadotropic ovarian failure, and polycystic ovary syndrome. The themes of rare and novel phenotypes, genetically homogenous populations, and genotype/phenotype correlations are emphasized.
