New IVF Treatment Doubles Chances Of Success

British researchers have concluded that the new method of screening embryos can double the chances of conception by artificial insemination, says BBC.

Such data have resulted in his report at the annual conference of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, researchers from Oxford University. According to their data, so greatly increase the likelihood of success with IVF, you can use comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). This technique allows for quantitative analysis of the genome of the embryo before transfer into the uterus, and, thus, a "filter" embryos with chromosomal abnormalities.

Of the 115 participants of the British study, whose embryos were subjected to screening, pregnant 76, which is 66 per cent. This is more than twice the 28-percent chance of success, observed in the normal IVF.

Head of research Dagan Wells (Dagan Wells) stressed that the majority of women who participated in the study, it was the last chance to go through IVF - the age of 39 years and two unsuccessful attempts of artificial insemination in the past by British law does not allow to qualify for subsequent attempts.

According to researchers, CHG is particularly relevant for older women, an increased risk of genetic abnormalities in the child, such as Down syndrome. The researchers expressed hope that soon this procedure will be publicly available. We screened the price of 2 000 pounds sterling (about 98,5 thousand rubles) in the UK offer only a few private clinics.
