Abstract：

Objective To investigate influence of chromosomal translocations on early embryo development and to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD)techniques through clinical analysis on PGD cycles. Methods Embryo development, efficacy of PGD and clinical outcome of 100 cycles were studied retrospectively, including 23 cycles with Robertsonian translocations, 19 cycles with reciprocal translocations, and 58 cycles for α-Thalassaemia. Results Among 354 embryos biopsied by PGD for translocations, 321 (90. 7% ) presented fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) results. The rate of normal/balanced embryos in the Robertsonian translocation was 38. 3% (64/167),which was significantly higher than 20. 8% (32/154) in the reciprocal translocation group. Amplification was achieved in 443 blastomeres from 537 embryos in Thalassaemia group, which given to an amplification efficiency rate of 82. 5% ( 443/537 ). Totally, 140 normal homozygous, 112 heterozygotes and 155 affected homozygous embryos were identified, while 36 embryos had uncertain result. The successful diagnostic rate was 75.8% (407/537). After 3 days in the translocation groups, the rate of normal and/or balanced translocations in biopsed embryos with ≥7 cells was 34. 4% (77/224), which was significantly higher than 19. 6% ( 19/97 ) of biopsed embryos with ＜ 7 cells. After 4 days, the compaction rate in normal/balanced embryos was 59.4% ( 57/96 ), which was significantly higher than 34. 2% ( 77/225 ) in imbalanced embryos significantly. Seventy-five embryos transferred in 37 cycles with translocations group led to clinical pregnancy rate of 27.0% (10/37), and 170 embryos transferred in 58 cycles with Thalassaemia got a clinical pregnancy rate of 43. 1% ( 25/58 ) . Conclusions PGD can provide management efficiently for both chromosome translocations and Thalassaemia. Translocations might have slightly negative impact on embryo development before implantation.

Abstract：

Objective To determine the importance of aneuploidy screening in preimplantation genetic diagnosis for the couples of chromosome translocation carriers. Methods To perform 11 prenatal genetic disgnosis (PGD) cycles for 7 couples of chromosome translocation carriers from January 2006 to March 2009 in the Reproductive Medical Center, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. To re-analyze the well-fixed, non-multinuclear and non-debris nuclei using the probes of LSI 13, 18, 21,CEPX, CEPY to detect the aneuploidy rate which come from the PGD cycles of the couples of chromosome translocation carriers. The euploid embryo was defined as two fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)signals of LSI 13, 18, 21 respectively and two signals of CEPX, or one signal of CEPX and one signal of CEPY. The other abnormal signals were defined as aneuploid embryo. Results (1) A tolal of 130 nuclei from 11 PGD cycles got the integrated re-FISH signals. Nine hundred and thirty-seven FISH signals were analysized, including 304 signals from 38 euploid nuclei and the others from 92 aneuploid nuclei. (2) The number of the aneuploid nuclei from grade Ⅰ , Ⅱ and Ⅲ embryo was 20 (22%), 36(39%), and 36(39%). The number of the euploid nuclei from grade Ⅰ , Ⅱ and Ⅲ embryo was 13(34%), 17(45%),and 8(21%). There was no significant difference of aneupioidy rate between the embryos form different grades (P＞0.05). However, the rate of aneuploid nucleus from good quality embryos (grade Ⅰ + grade Ⅱ) was 60% (59/92). (3) The euploidy rate was 71.4% (30/42) from balanced embryos, while 9.1%(8/88)from unbalanced embryos. There was significant difference between them (x2=53.4, P＜0.05).The rate of aneuploidy from balanced embryos was lower than those from unbalanced embryos (P＜0.05).Conclusions Since higher rate of aneuploidy was detected in embryos of the couples of chromosome translocation carriers. It is advisable to recommend the FISH re-analysis for aneuploidy screening to preimplantation genetic diagnosis for the couples of chromosome translocation carriers.

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis for beta-thalassaemia: the Sardinian experience

OBJECTIVES: To report the experiences on preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) in couples at risk for beta-thalassaemia in Sardinia. METHODS: 23 couples at risk for beta-thalassaemia were included in the PGD programme with a total of 42 cycles performed. Among these, 11 couples were fertile, while the remaining 12 had associated fertility problems. In vitro Fertilization (IVF), PGD and prenatal genetic molecular confirmation protocols and results are reported. RESULTS: All the patients followed the protocol of ovarian stimulation, oocyte retrieval, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), embryo biopsy and genetic analysis. A total of 272 oocytes were fertilized in the regular way, and embryo biopsy was performed on 202 embryos. Out of these 202 embryos, 192 (95%) were successful. The genetic diagnosis was performed on 150 embryos (78.1%). Ninety-eight were identified as unaffected and 75 were transferred in 31 cycles. In the infertile patient group, two biochemical pregnancies (11.1% per transfer), in the fertile patient group, four clinical pregnancies, two twin and two singleton pregnancies (30.8% per transfer), were obtained. The genetic molecular results were confirmed in all pregnancies by first-trimester chorionic villus sampling (CVS). CONCLUSION: Our study shows that PGD for beta-thalassaemia is an available procedure for couples who wish to avoid termination of pregnancy, except in cases where the IVF cycle efficiency is very poor.     

Efficacy and clinical outcome of preimplantation genetic diagnosis using FISH for couples of reciprocal and Robertsonian translocations: the Korean experience

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and clinical outcome of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for couples with chromosomal translocations. METHODS: PGD using FISH was performed in 59 cycles of 43 couples with reciprocal translocations, and 11 cycles of 6 couples with Robertsonian translocations. The diagnostic and clinical data were reviewed in a series of 70 treatment cycles of 49 couples from January 2001 to June 2002 at Samsung Cheil Hospital, Korea. RESULTS: A total of 1408 oocytes were retrieved, and 938 (81.7%) out of 1148 matured oocytes were fertilized by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Single blastomere biopsy and FISH analysis were successfully carried out in 99.3% (890/896) and 94.4% (840/890), respectively. Among 193 normal or balanced embryos, 169 embryos were transferred in 64 cycles (91.4% per started cycle). Twenty clinical pregnancies including two ectopic pregnancies and three spontaneous miscarriages (28.6% per started cycle, 31.3% per transfer cycle, 40.8% per couple) were established. Of the three spontaneous miscarriages, one was karyotyped as normal, one had an unbalanced arrangement and one was tetraploid. One case of preterm twin delivery occurred and 16 healthy babies were delivered in 12 single and 2 twin pregnancies. CONCLUSION: The clinical outcome was successful in 28.6% (14/49) of the treated couples with translocations after PGD. The spontaneous abortion rate was significantly reduced from 95.8% (69/72) to 16.7% (3/18) in these couples.

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis using FISH for carriers of Robertsonian translocations: the Portuguese experience

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is an alternative to prenatal diagnosis for couples at risk of transmitting genetic disorders to their offspring. We present a fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of embryos obtained after seven PGD cycles in six couples with Robertsonian translocations and male factor infertility: 4 der(13;14), 1 der(14;21) and 1 der(15;21). Of 74 metaphase II (MII) injected oocytes, 61 (82.4%) fertilized normally and cleaved. Of these, 37/61 (60.7%) embryos were of high morphological quality with >or=6 blastomeres. After biopsy of 44 embryos at day 3 of development, seven degenerated, seven arrested in development and 30/44 (68.2%) evolved, of which 25/30 (83.3%) reached the morula/blastocyst stage. Analysis of biopsied blastomeres showed 23/44 (52.3%) of normal/balanced embryos, of which 15 (11 at the morula/blastocyst stage) were transferred in six cycles. One term pregnancy was achieved, which ended by cesarean section at 37 weeks of gestation, giving birth to two healthy newborn. Analysis of 49 embryos (excluding 12 inconclusive cases) showed a predominance of alternate segregation (38/49, 77.6%) over adjacent segregation (7/49, 14.3%), with one (2%) being a polyploid mosaic and three (6.1%) chaotic.     

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis: State of the art

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is used to analyze embryos genetically before their transfer into the uterus. It was developed first in England in 1990, as part of progress in reproductive medicine, genetic and molecular biology. PGD offers couples at risk the chance to have an unaffected child, without facing termination of pregnancy. Embryos are obtained by in vitro fertilization with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and are biopsied mostly on day 3; blastocyst biopsy is mentioned as a possible alternative. The genetic analysis is performed on one or two blastomeres, by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) for cytogenetic diagnosis, or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for molecular diagnosis. Genetic analysis of the first or second polar body can be used to study maternal genetic contribution. Only unaffected embryos are transferred into the uterus. To improve the accuracy of the diagnosis, new technologies are emerging, with comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) and microarrays.

Embryo implantation after biopsy of one or two cells from cleavage-stage embryos with a view to preimplantation genetic diagnosis

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) can be offered as an alternative to prenatal diagnosis (PND) to couples at risk of having a child with a genetic disease. The affected embryos are detected before implantation by fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH) for sexing (X-linked diseases) and chromosomal disorders (numerical and structural) or by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for monogenic disorders (including some X-linked diseases). The accuracy and reliability of the diagnosis is increased by analysing two blastomeres of the embryo. However, the removal of two blastomeres might have an effect on the implantation capacity of the embryo. We have evaluated the implantation of embryos after the removal of one, two or three cells in 188 PGD cycles where a transfer was done. The patients were divided into five groups: a first group which received only embryos from which one cell had been removed, a second group which received only embryos from which two cells had been removed, a third group which received a mixture of embryos from which one and two cells had been taken, a fourth group where two and three cells had been removed, and a fifth group where three cells had been removed. The overall ongoing pregnancy rate per transfer was 26.1%, the overall implantation rate per transfer was 15.2% and the overall birth rate was 14.2%. Although pregnancy rates between the groups cannot be compared because the second group (two cells removed) contains more rapidly developing and therefore 'better quality' embryos, an ongoing pregnancy rate of 29.1% and an implantation rate of 18.6% per transferred embryo in this group is acceptable, and we therefore advise analysing two cells from a > or =7-cell stage embryo in order to render the diagnosis more accurate and reliable.
