FSH receptor genotype does not predict metaphase-II oocyte output or fertilization rates in ICSI patients
No statistically significant differences were found between the number of mature oocytes retrieved, MOR or fertilization rates among the patients with different p.Asn680Ser FSHR genotypes. No significant difference was noted in the clinical pregnancy rates per transfer. There is no evidence that the p.Asn680Ser FSHR genotype predicts oocyte maturity.
The most promising strategy at present is the combined evaluation of morphology and developmental kinetics using time-lapse imaging. This has brought new insights into certain characteristics that enable de-selection of embryos at an early stage of their development and to identify others with high potential for successful implantation. However there is still considerable room for improvement. Further strategies will most likely involve the combi
Genetic loss or pharmacological blockade of testes-expressed taste genes causes male sterility
We hypothesize that even low levels of these compounds can lower sperm count and negatively affect human male fertility, which common mouse toxicology assays would not reveal. Conversely, we speculate that TAS1R3 and GNAT3 activators may help infertile men, particularly those that are affected by some of the mentioned inhibitors and/or are diagnosed with idiopathic infertility involving signaling pathway of these receptors.
Children born through reproductive donation: a longitudinal study of psychological adjustment
Although children born through reproductive donation obtained SDQ scores within the normal range, surrogacy children showed higher levels of adjustment difficulties at age 7 than children conceived by gamete donation. Mothers who had kept their child’s origins secret showed elevated levels of distress. However, maternal distress had a more negative impact on children who were aware of their origins.
Follicle recruitment determines IVF productivity rate via the number of embryos frozen and subsequent transfers
The number of live births per oocyte, pronuclear embryos and thawed embryos decreased significantly but the number of live births per embryo transferred (fresh or frozen) rose with rising oocyte numbers, reflecting increasing opportunity for embryo selection. This study suggests that optimal benefits with minimal risks are gained from a model that includes both fresh and frozen transfers under stimulation generating between 8 and 12 eggs.
THe NHS has been told to pay for a Scottish couple to have private fertility treatment after they suffered “unreasonable” delays in their care.The Scottish Public Services Ombudsman (SPSO) said NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde should offer the couple £6,000 if they wanted to try to have a baby using private facilities.
Adjustment problems for surrogate-born children are minimal
Children born with the help of sperm or egg donation or via surrogacy are well-adjusted at the age of ten, a study says. Surrogate-born children demonstrated slightly higher levels of adjustment difficulties at seven years old, although they remained well within normal limits for that age.
An Australian man has been granted shared parental responsibility by a federal judge over a child born through IVF using sperm he had donated to his former partner.
Landmark federal ruling in custody battle involving IVF mum and her ex
A MILLIONAIRE businessman embroiled in a bitter custody battle after secretly helping his ex conceive through IVF has been de~clared the child's legal father in a landmark ruling.A Family Court judge has awarded the man equal shared parental responsibility of the two-year-old boy - despite Victorian law stating sperm donors are not considered the father.
Mother of triplets died eight days after their birth
After giving birth to triplets, an apparently healthy Isabel Mason joked with hospital staff about having to buy a bigger car to fit them all in.Minutes later the 34-year-old mother had died of an undetected heart condition. Mrs Mason, who had undergone IVF treatment, had enjoyed just over a week with her babies before what a coroner called the “tragedy” that took her from her new family
Britain could create first 'three-parent baby' through IVF
Britain will become the first country in the world to create babies with the DNA of three people under government plans which could see the procedure offered on the NHS by next year. Parents at high risk of having children with severe disabilities such as muscular dystrophy will be offered the controversial new IVF treatment after it was given the green light by ministers today.
Scientists from the Monell Center report the surprising finding that two proteins involved in oral taste detection also play a crucial role in sperm development. While breeding mice for taste-related studies, the researchers discovered that they were unable to produce offspring that were simultaneously missing two taste-signaling proteins.
