Abstract

There has been little professional discussion about the implications of blastomere analysis for genetic screening. In this article, some of the legal, ethical, and practical issues associated with the technology are identified. Issues are categorized as those involving availability and payment, phenotype selection, and imperfect genes. Nurses need to be knowledgeable about these issues to participate in the formation of policies governing the use of blastomere analysis and other genetic screening procedures.

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis using fluorescent polymerase chain reaction: results and future developments.

PURPOSE: Fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a multipurpose technique that can be used for diagnosing sex, single-gene defects, and trisomies as well as determining DNA fingerprints from single cells. However, its effectiveness must be assessed before clinical preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) application. METHODS: Single and multiplex fluorescent PCR was applied to single cells and blastomeres. RESULTS: Fluorescent PCR can be used to diagnose sex from blastomeres and has been successfully applied in a clinical PGD sexing program resulting in a confirmed pregnancy. A further major advantage of fluorescent PCR is the ability to multiplex, providing multiple diagnoses and DNA fingerprints with a high reliability (approximately 75% for trisomy, 86% for DNA fingerprint) and good accuracy (70-80%). Allele dropout in multiplex PCR is approximately 20% per allele and does not appear to be associated with the fragment size. CONCLUSIONS: Fluorescent PCR is a powerful technique for PGD, and the effects of allele dropout must be considered, particularly in multiplex PCR.

Infertile couples with Robertsonian translocations: preimplantation genetic analysis of embryos reveals chaotic cleavage divisions.

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) may provide a feasible option for some Robertsonian translocation carriers who experience severe difficulty in achieving a normal pregnancy. We report on five PGD cycles for two such couples, 45,XY,der(13;14)(q10:q10) and 45,XX,der(13;21)(q10;q10), carried out by biopsy of two cells from day 3 post-insemination embryos generated by in vitro fertilisation. Locus-specific YAC probes for chromosomes 13, 14 and 21 were used to detect the chromosomes involved in the translocation using multicolour FISH. Three embryos transfers were carried out (two single embryo transfers and one double transfer) but no clinical pregnancies were established. In two cycles no embryos were transferred as all those biopsied were chromosomally abnormal. Combined results from both couples show 13% (6/45) of embryos analysed were normal for the translocation chromosomes and 87% (39/45) were chromosomally abnormal; these were categorised as 36% aneuploid or aneuploid mosaic and 51% chaotic where the chromosome constitution varied randomly from cell to cell. This suggests two factors may be acting to reduce fertility in these couples; the aneuploid segregation of the parental Robertsonian translocation and also a post-zygotic factor leading to uncontrolled chromosome distribution in early cleavage stages in an exceptionally high proportion of embryos.

Female and male human embryo growth rates are similar before the eight-cell stage.

OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to assess the possible relationship between human embryo growth rates and sexual differentiation. STUDY DESIGN: We analyzed 142 conceptional in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer cycles undertaken in 137 women (151 embryos transferred) in which each embryo transferred led to a gestational sac. Embryos were sorted into three groups according to the number of blastomeres assessed just before embryo transfers < or = 3, 4, and > or = 5 blastomeres. RESULTS: Percentages of girls and boys remained roughly unaltered irrespective of the number of blastomeres observed just before embryo transfer: < or = 3 blastomeres, 45% and 55%; 4 blastomeres, 44% and 56%; and > or = 5 blastomeres, 45% and 55%, respectively (statistical power 90% at the 5% significance level). CONCLUSIONS: This indicates that embryo growth rates before the eight-cell stage are not related to the sex of the live-born infant, thereby dissuading the use of embryo growth rates in the appraisal of sex likelihood in regular in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer.
