Embryos derived from donor or patient oocytes are not different for in vitro fertilization outcomes when PGT allows euploid embryo selection: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:At our facilities, patients that received embryos using donor oocyte during in vitro fertilization (IVF), usually have had at least one failed attempt to produce at least one euploid embryo with their own oocytes; however, the current debate between using donor over patient oocytes remains inconclusive. We examined the aneuploidy rate and IVF clinical outcomes from embryos derived from either donor or patient oocytes. METHODS:Retrospectively, 973 cycles were examined of patients who underwent a standard IVF protocol. Chromosomal content was determined using Pre-implantation Genetic Testing (PGT) by either microarray-comparative genomic hybridization or Next-generation sequencing from either Day 3 (blastocysts) or Day 5 (trophectoderm) embryo biopsies, respectively. Embryo implantation was confirmed by serum ?-hCG (>?10 m IU/mL/Day 14), whereas clinical pregnancy by a fetal heartbeat (Week 6.5-8). RESULTS:Embryos derived from donor oocytes presented with more monosomies than embryos derived from patient oocytes (41.2% vs. 25.4%, p??30% in embryos, independent of the oocyte origin, PGT should be recommended with donor oocytes as well.
