SET Fine With Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis

P R A G U E — Single embryo transfer does not lower success rates compared to double embryo transfer in most patients who need preimplantation genetic diagnosis, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology. However, one subset of patients needing preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD)—those with translocations—may need more than one embryo transferred to achieve adequate pregnancy and delivery rates, reported Dr. Patricio Donoso of University Hospital, Dutch-speaking Free University Brussels, Belgium. It has been suggested that patients undergoing PGD may have a smaller chance of getting pregnant after in vitro fertilization (IVF) than do patients who do not undergo PGD, Dr. Donoso said in an interview. Although there is still some debate about whether the PGD biopsy is slightly harmful to the embryo, the main reason for concern is that PGD often identifies many embryos as unsuitable for transfer. “In regular IVF, we usually select the most morphologically normal-looking embryo for transfer. In PGD patients, the healthy embryo is not necessarily the one with the
