Filter by:The overall goals of this proposal are to determine the genetic architecture of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and to discover genomic predictors of RPL.
This pilot study aims to evaluate if microchimeric cells in a patient with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) can be detected by the blood analysis for the presence of the DYS14 gene and the use of indel-panel methods and also, to examine if this method can distinguish the cell's origin; comparing gene sequence from the patient's firstborn son or her older brother. In addition, the pilot study will provide the investigators with information and experience necessary for a subsequent main study to be conducted.
This prospective cohort study primarily aims to examine the association between blood niacin levels and recurrent miscarriage.
Blastocysts derived from patients seeking infertility treatment were generated by in vitro fertilization and embryo culture as previously described, and were evaluated using the Gardner system. As part of the embryo selection process, cells of TE biopsy were collected, and blastocysts were vitrified. The clinical TE biopsies were subjected to whole genome amplification (WGA) with SurePlex reagents (Illumina) followed by NGS-based PGT-A using Illumina's VeriSeq kit (Illumina) on a MiSeq system (Illumina) according to the manufacturer's protocol.
Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a refractory disease with diverse etiologies, complex pathogenesis and limited therapeutic options. Current tests and treatments lack uniform specifications. This study is a prospective clinical cohort study which intends to screen out meaningful examination items and reliable and effective treatment. The study content includes (1) tracking the re-pregnancy information of patients with initial inevitable abortion, comparing the clinical data and examination test results between patients with single abortion and RPL, and (2) comprehensively and systematically screening the patients with initial inevitable abortion, taking those without obvious abnormalities and those with a re-pregnancy into the control group and taking those with a re-pregnancy after abnormal findings were treated into the study group, recording the pregnancy and perinatal conditions of the two groups, comparing the pregnancy outcomes of the two groups, and analyzing the risk factors for RPL. The results of this study will establish a model of maternal and newborn risk assessment for first trimester medication use and provide strong evidence-based evidence to clarify the diagnosis and treatment processes of RPL.
A low plasma level of mannose binding lectin (p-MBL) is associated with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), but it is not investigated if it is associated with unexplained reproductive failure in general, including recurrent implantation failure (RIF) after assisted reproductive technology (ART) (including IVF, ICSI and FET), recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) after spontaneous conception, and RPL after ART.
Multiple studies suggest a link between the iron status and the development of the endometrium. Therefore, a sufficient iron supply seems to relevant for female fertility and reproduction. To gain further insight on the effects of iron status on female fertility, a prospective study on infertile women und women with recurrent miscarriage will be conducted. In these, the iron status will be evaluated in detail. In addition, a control group of healthy women without infertility will be enrolled.
This is a pilot study with the aim to investigate the beneficial effect of bicarbonate buffered medium containing hyaluronan and recombinant human albumin (EmbryoGlue®, Vitrolife) in patients with documented repeated implantation failure on live birth per randomized subject as primary endpoint.
Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) affects around 5 % of women in reproductive age. The underlying cause of RPL is most often unknown, probably multifactorial, and no treatment with documented effect on chance of live birth exists. In unexplained cases of RPL, primarily the immune system is hypothesized to play a pivotal, causative role, since autoantibodies and specific human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles as well as unbalanced distribution of leucocyte subsets, especially natural killer (NK) cells and T-helper (Th) cells, occurs more frequently in patients with unexplained RPL. For that reason, many treatment regimens used in autoimmune diseases have been tested on RPL patients, as for example prednisolone and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg). IVIg (Privigen) consist of a broad spectrum of structurally and functionally intact IgG antibodies. The mechanism of action is not fully elucidated, but certainly IVIg do help opsonise and neutralize foreign cells and pathogens. Prednisolone support this anti-inflammatory action by suppressing migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and reducing the volume and activity of the immune system and the capillary permeability. A retrospective, observational pilot study suggested that a combination of prednisone and IVIg in first trimester improves the chance of a live birth in women with RPL after assisted reproductive technologies (ART) (Nyborg et al., 2014). A randomized controlled study is necessary for determining if this immunomodulatory treatment definitely is effective in patients with unexplained RPL after ART (defined as IVF or ICSI ad FER). Potentially, this study will be able to establish evidence for an effective treatment to women with unexplained RPL after ART, who otherwise have a poor prognosis.
A single center,observational cohort study to explore the relationship between reproductive tract microbiota and pregnancy outcome in the patients accepted IVF/ICSI. To investigate whether there is a correlation between reproductive tract microbiota and IVF/ICSI outcomes. Whether there are differences in reproductive tract microbiota (such as vagina, follicular fluid, uterine cavity, etc.) in patients with different pregnancy outcomes.
