New age-specific hormone and FMR1 gene CGG repeat testing show promise for improving ovarian reserve assessments in egg donor selection. These methods may enhance the identification of suitable candidates and optimize donor outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Endocrinology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Accurate ovarian reserve (OR) assessment is vital for optimal egg donor selection.
  • Current methods may have limitations in identifying candidates with suboptimal OR.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of novel age-specific (as-) follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) assays.
  • To assess the utility of FMR1 gene CGG repeat analysis for improving egg donor candidate selection.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of 73 egg donor candidates, with 21 undergoing oocyte retrieval.
  • Assessed age-specific FSH, age-specific AMH, and FMR1 CGG repeat counts.
  • Correlated hormonal and genetic findings with oocyte yield in donors.

Main Results:

  • Varied AMH levels were observed in candidates and donors, with a significant proportion falling outside the normal range.
  • Oocyte yields in donors showed correlations with abnormal AMH levels and FMR1 CGG repeat counts.
  • A substantial percentage of candidates and donors exhibited abnormal FMR1 CGG repeat numbers.

Conclusions:

  • Even with prescreening, ovarian reserve assessments can be imperfect.
  • Age-specific hormone testing and FMR1 CGG repeat analysis hold potential for enhancing egg donor selection accuracy.
