Effect of ovarian stimulation on embryo aneuploidy and mosaicism rate.
Bernabeu R Abstract There is a high incidence of chromosome abnormalities in human embryos that leads to a failed IVF cycle. Different studies have shown that maternal age is the determining factor in the appearance of chromosomal alterations in the embryo. However, the possible influence of ovarian stimulation on oocyte and embryo aneuploidies and mosaicism is controversial. A retrospective study was carried out in which 835 embryos from 280 couples undergoing reproductive treatment using their oocytes were chromosomally analyzed. A binary logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship b...

Correlation between anti-Mullerian hormone levels and antral follicle counts in polycystic ovary and metabolic syndromes.
Abstract Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) is expressed by the granulosa cells of the pre-antral and small antral follicles in the ovary. AMH serum levels are significantly higher in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) due to an increased antral follicle counts (AFC) and a higher production of AMH per antral follicle. This research is a cohort study design with a sample size of 60 female patients with (n = 30) and without PCOS (n = 30) in which the relationship between AMH serum level and other hormonal markers was explored. The following measurements were taken from the patients on the fift...

Reducing misdiagnosis caused by maternal cell contamination in genetic testing for early pregnancy loss.
Abstract The analysis of products of conception (POC) is clinically important to establish the cause of early pregnancy loss. Data from such analyses can lead to specific interventions in subsequent natural or assisted conceptions. The techniques available to examine the chromosomal composition of POC have limitations and can give misleading results when maternal cell contamination (MCC) is overlooked. The aim of this study was to develop a protocol for MCC assessment and to formulate POC material handling, testing, and reporting recommendations. Using array comparative genomic hybridization, we tested 86 POC samp...

The role of ORC4 in enucleation of Murine Erythroleukemia (MEL) cells is similar to that in oocyte polar body extrusion.
Abstract The Origin Replication Complex subunit 4 (ORC4) is one in six subunits of the Origin Replication Complexes (ORCs) which is essential for initiating licensing at DNA replication origins and recruiting adaptor molecules necessary for various cellular processes. Previously, we reported that ORC4 also plays a vital role in polar body extrusion (PBE) during oogenesis in which half the chromosomes are extruded from the oocyte. We hypothesized that ORC4 might play a broader role in chromatin elimination. We tested its role in enucleation during the development of erythrocytes. Murine erythroleukemia (MEL) cells ...
