O-115 Parental whole-exome sequencing allows the discovery of genetic causes of extreme IVF phenotypes such as oocyte/embryo developmental arrest and…
2021
Abstract Study question Do whole-exome sequencing (WES) data from infertile women provide valuable information for the discovery of genes/pathways involved in extreme IVF phenotypes, i.e. oocyte/embryo developmental arrest? Summary answer The development of a specific bioinformatic WES pipeline revealed known and new candidate genes/pathways for isolated oocyte/embryo developmental failure,providing the foundation to scale up research. What is known already The use of IVF has made it possible to identify extreme and isolated infertility phenotypes such as recurrent low oocytes maturity (LMR), recurrent low fertilization rate (LFR), or preimplantation developmental arrest (PDA) that would re…
The clinical utility of PGD with HLA matching: a collaborative multi-centre ESHRE study
2018
Study question Has PGD-HLA been successful relative to diagnostic and clinical efficacy? Summary answer The diagnostic efficacy of PGD-HLA protocols was found lower in this study in comparison to published PGD-HLA protocols and to that reported for general PGD by ESHRE (78.5 vs 94.1% and vs 92.6%, respectively), while the clinical efficacy has proven very difficult to assess due to inadequate follow-up of both the ART/PGD and HSCT procedure outcomes. What is known already The first clinical cases for PGD-HLA were reported in 2001. It is now a well-established procedure, with an increasing number of cycles performed every year. However, PGD-HLA is still offered by relatively few PGD centres,…
