Background

• Embryo implantation is complex involving – Maturational events in the embryo

– Endometrium

– Maternal hormonal changes and immune responses

• IVF provides a unique opportunity in understanding factors influencing embryo implantation

Page 3: L6 sunkara key slides

Maternal age and miscarriage

• Danish prospective register linked study

• All women with reproductive outcome from 1978 – 1992

• 634 272 women with 1 221 546 pregnancy outcomes

Maternal age and fetal loss: population based register linkage study Anne-Marie Nybo Andersen, Jan Wohlfahrt, Peter Christens, Jorn Olsen, Mads Melbys RMJ Volume 320 24 JUNE 2000

Age and miscarriage following IVF

Outcomes of 124,351 pregnancies following IVF

Miscarriage following ART

• Outcome of 62,228 clinical pregnancies following ART US between 1996 – 1998

• Spontaneous miscarriage rates following ART compared with miscarriage rates from a population-based survey of US women aged 15 – 44 years

Cause of miscarriage

• Cytogenetic analysis of products of conception (POC) following spontaneous miscarriage

• 133 POC following ART and 144 from infertile couple following natural conception

Maternal age and aneuploidy

• 258 blastocysts from 51 cycles analysed after biopsy and microarray

• 43.4% euploid and 56.6% aneuploid embryos

• Aneuploid rates significantly higher in older women

– 44.2% (<35 years); 43.9% (35-37years); 56.4% (38-40 years); 82% (≥41 years)

DNA Microarray reveals that high proportions of human blastocysts from women of advanced maternal age are aneuploid and mosaic.

CCS for embryo assessment

Molecular Human Reproduction Vol.14, No.12 pp. 703-710, 2008 Advance Access publication on November 28, 2008

New Research Horizon Use of Comprehensive chromosomal screening for embryo assessment: microarrays and CGH Dagan Wells, Samer Alfarawati and Elpida Fragouli

CCS in advanced age

• Study group (n=30) frozen blastocyst transfer with euploid embryos tested by CCS

• Control group (n=30) fresh blastocyst transfer; embryos selected based on morphology – IR 40.9% vs 60.8% (p<0.05)

– Miscarriage rate 0% vs 20% (p<0.01)

Conclusion

Poor oocyte quality cause of reduced implantation

Chromosomal anomalies cause for increased miscarriages

Role of CCS using CGH need to be evaluated in larger RCTs
