Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Genetics
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Preimplantation HLA typing aids HLA-identical stem cell transplantation for affected siblings.
  • Current methods may be combined with preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) or used solely for HLA matching.
  • Reproductive outcomes in preimplantation HLA typing can be suboptimal, particularly in advanced maternal age.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and impact of combining preimplantation HLA typing with aneuploidy testing.
  • To assess the effect of aneuploidy testing on the accuracy and success rates of preimplantation HLA typing.
  • To determine the reproductive outcomes when aneuploidy testing is integrated into HLA typing protocols.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted 138 cycles of preimplantation HLA typing, with 87 combined with PGD and 52 without.

  • A subset of 27 cycles included concurrent aneuploidy testing to select euploid, HLA-matched embryos.
  • Analyzed pregnancy and birth rates following the transfer of euploid, HLA-identical embryos.

    • Main Results:

    • Combining preimplantation HLA typing with aneuploidy testing demonstrated feasibility.
    • Euploid HLA-identical embryos were available for transfer in approximately 50% of cycles with combined testing.
    • Pregnancy and birth of unaffected, HLA-identical children were achieved in about half of these cycles.

    Conclusions:

    • Integrating aneuploidy testing into preimplantation HLA typing is feasible and beneficial.
    • Aneuploidy testing can improve the accuracy and reproductive outcomes of preimplantation HLA typing.
    • This combined approach shows promise for increasing the success of HLA-identical stem cell transplantation via embryo selection.
