Zusammenfassung
Aim: Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (MD1) is one of the major indications for preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for monogenic inherited disorders worldwide, but female MD1 carriers have a reduced PGD success rate compared to PGD for other indications. Aim of this study was to search for biomarkers predictive for favorable PGD outcome. Material and methods: retrospectively evaluation of 202 polar body diagnosis (PBD) cycles for 95 families and 37 different monogenetic disorders at our center including 10 female MD1 carriers. Results: Transfer of 38 embryos in 22/25 MD1 PBD cycles resulted in 4 clinical pregnanci…
