Abstract
Research question
Is there a relationship between the pronuclear axis and the first cleavage plane formation in human pronuclear-stage embryos, and what are the effects on ploidy and clinical pregnancy rates?
Design
Transferred embryos were followed up until their prognoses. A total of 762 embryos formed two cells and reached the blastocyst stage after normal fertilization in a time-lapse incubator. Embryos were classified into three groups: group A: embryos in which the first plane of division was formed parallel to the axis of the pronucleus; group B: embryos in which cases of oblique formation were observed; and group C: embryos in which cases of perpendicular formation were observed.
Results
The euploidy rate was significantly higher in groups A and B than those in group C (P < 0.01), whereas the aneuploidy rate was significantly higher in group C (P < 0.01) than in groups A and B. No differences were found between the three groups in frequency of positive HCG-based pregnancy tests, frequency of clinical pregnancies, miscarriage rates or delivery rates.
Conclusions
The formation pattern of the first plane of division relative to the pronuclear axis was a predictor of embryonic ploidy, with a reduced rate of euploidy and a high probability of aneuploidy observed when the first plane of division was perpendicular to the pronuclear axis.
期刊介绍:
Reproductive BioMedicine Online covers the formation, growth and differentiation of the human embryo. It is intended to bring to public attention new research on biological and clinical research on human reproduction and the human embryo including relevant studies on animals. It is published by a group of scientists and clinicians working in these fields of study. Its audience comprises researchers, clinicians, practitioners, academics and patients.
Context:
The period of human embryonic growth covered is between the formation of the primordial germ cells in the fetus until mid-pregnancy. High quality research on lower animals is included if it helps to clarify the human situation. Studies progressing to birth and later are published if they have a direct bearing on events in the earlier stages of pregnancy.
