Summary

Recurrent miscarriage (RM) is linked to a higher rate of abnormal embryos, with some developing to the blastocyst stage. Full chromosome analysis is recommended for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) in RM patients.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Genetics
  • Embryology

Background:

  • Chromosomal abnormalities are a significant cause of spontaneous abortion and recurrent miscarriage (RM).
  • Understanding the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities and embryo development in RM patients is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities and embryo development in patients with recurrent miscarriage (RM).
  • To compare chromosomal abnormality rates between RM patients and a control group undergoing preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD).

Main Methods:

  • Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) was conducted on 71 couples with RM and 28 control couples.
  • Fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) was used to analyze chromosomes 13, 16, 18, 21, 22, X, and Y.

Main Results:

  • RM patients showed a significantly higher percentage of abnormal embryos (70.7%) compared to controls (45.1%).
  • Chromosomal anomalies for chromosomes 16 and 22 were significantly elevated in RM cases.
  • Euploid embryos in RM patients reached the blastocyst stage more frequently (61.7%) than abnormal embryos (24.9%).

Conclusions:

  • Recurrent miscarriage is associated with a higher incidence of chromosomally abnormal embryos.
  • Some abnormal embryos can develop to the blastocyst stage.
  • In vitro fertilization (IVF) combined with PGD is vital for managing RM couples, necessitating a move towards full chromosome analysis.
