Article Synopsis
- The French Bioethics Law now allows lesbian couples and single women to access medically assisted reproduction, including the use of cryopreserved gametes, raising questions about new applications of these gametes among various couples, particularly those including transgender individuals.
- The study analyzes scenarios where a transgender woman's sperm is used within couples, rather than relying on gamete donation, highlighting existing practices and challenges faced by healthcare professionals.
- There are inconsistencies and legal gaps related to using a trans woman's sperm under the new EUGIC framework, resulting in complexities for medical practitioners and raising issues around the rights and interests of the unborn child.

Objective: New possibilities for using gametes within a couple were created by the French law of August 2, 2021 related to bioethics by opening Assisted Reproductive Technics (ART) to all women. It concerns previously self-preserved gametes, thus avoiding the need for gamete donation. The objective of our study is to evaluate the perception of these new uses by ART practitioners.

Article Synopsis
- Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) affects 1-3.7% of women under 40, leading to issues like infertility and reduced lifespan, with many causes remaining unidentified; recent studies are exploring genetic links to POI through a large cohort of patients.* -
- The research included 375 patients and uncovered a 29.3% success rate for clinical genetic diagnosis of POI, discovering new pathogenic genes and pathways previously unlinked to POI, while confirming the role of several known genes associated with cancer susceptibility and other genetic disorders.* -
- This genetic understanding enables personalized medicine approaches, which aim to prevent or treat related health issues, predict ovarian reserve, and identify candidates for innovative therapies like in vitro

Objectives: Since the authorization of French nulliparous women to donate oocytes, who are the new donors? What are the similar and differential points with the initial donors who have already procreated?
Methods: Retrospective multicenter cohort study using a questionnaire.
Results: The return rate is 90.7% with 248 donor files from 5 French assisted reproductive technology (ART) centers, included between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2018.
