Abstract Genomic testing has the potential to transform outcomes for women with infertility conditions, such as premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), with growing calls for widespread diagnostic use. The current research literature, however, often uses poor variant curation leading to inflated diagnostic claims and fails to address the complexities of genomic testing for this condition. Without careful execution of the transition from research to the clinic, there is danger of inaccurate diagnoses and poor appreciation of broader implications of testing. This Forum outlines the benefits of genomic testing for POI and raises often overlooked concerns. Summary Sentence Genomic testing has the potential to improve outcomes for women with infertility; however, thorough counseling, rigorous variant curation, and realistic expectations are required for optimal outcomes.
