Found this article: BRCA1 AND DEPLETION OF OOCYTE RESERVE

http://cancerology.blogspot.com/2009/10/brca1-and-depletion-of-oocyte-reserve.html

Apparently researchers are studying the fact that BRCA positive women have lowered oocyte reserves & infertility issues.

These findings were presented by Dr. Oktay from the Dept. of OBGYN at the Westchester Medical Center-NY Medical College in Valhalla.

Dr. Keefe Chair of the Dept. of OBGYN at the NYU Langone Medical Center in NYC says that based on this info women who are BRCA+ should be advised that they may lose their eggs earlier than women not affected with the BRCA gene mutation.
