In medicine, research on sex abnormalities in both males and females has produced many scientific publications based on different research and testing methods, not only after birth but even during pregnancy. However, in this article, we would like to share several cases of sex abnormalities that were detected during paternity testing.

Over the years, infertility has become one of the major concerns of modern medicine. Statistics show that as many as 12.6% of couples worldwide face difficulties in conceiving. The causes may stem from the husband, the wife, both partners, or in some cases cannot be clearly identified. However, alongside advances in assisted reproductive technologies (ART), particularly the groundbreaking applications of genetics, the journey to parenthood for infertile couples is now more hopeful than ever.

As the healthcare industry increasingly prioritizes accuracy and safety in laboratory testing—particularly in genetic tests such as PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing) and NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing)—adherence to international quality control standards has become essential to ensure reliability and transparency of results. GENTIS, a pioneering genetic testing provider in Vietnam, has firmly established its credibility by earning the prestigious CAP (College of American Pathologists) accreditation from the United States.

The 10th Can Tho Obstetrics and Gynecology Conference, held on August 22, 2025, welcomed over 1,000 delegates, once again affirming its role as a prestigious scientific forum for the Southern region and the entire obstetrics and gynecology community in Vietnam. With nearly 60 scientific presentations, the conference offered valuable professional insights, ranging from updates in diagnostics and treatment to the growing trend of applying advancements in genetics and precision medicine.

From August 21–22, 2025, the Can Tho Obstetrics and Gynecology Conference 2025 will officially take place at the Van Phat Riverside Conference Center in Can Tho City. This prestigious professional event brings together leading experts, doctors, and healthcare professionals from top hospitals and medical centers across Vietnam.

In a healthcare landscape that increasingly demands precision, safety, and transparency in laboratory testing, the concept of Total Quality Management (TQM) has become a critical factor for modern laboratories. Especially with the rapid development of biotechnology and personalized medicine, laboratories are expected not only to perform accurately but also to meet international standards in performance, equipment, processes, and data security.

On the afternoon of July 17, 2025, at Dong Do General Hospital, representatives from GENTIS (Genetic Analysis Services JSC) had a working session and professional exchange with the hospital's team of obstetricians and reproductive specialists. The meeting focused on introducing and providing in-depth updates on the Genratest – an advanced tool that improves treatment outcomes in assisted reproductive technology (ART), especially for patients who have experienced repeated implantation failure (RIF).
