ESHRE PGD consortium data collection X: cycles from January to December 2007 with pregnancy follow-up to October 2008†

Abstract

The 10th report of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) PGD Consortium is presented, documenting cycles collected for the calendar year 2007 and follow-up of the pregnancies and babies born until October 2008 which resulted from these cycles. Since the beginning of the data collections there has been a steady increase in the number of cycles, pregnancies and babies reported annually. For data collection X, 57 centres participated, reporting on 5887 cycles to oocyte retrieval (OR), along with details of the follow-up on 1516 pregnancies and 1206 babies born. A total of 729 OR were reported for chromosomal abnormalities, 110 OR for sexing for X-linked diseases, 1203 OR for monogenic diseases, 3753 OR for preimplantation genetic screening and 92 OR for social sexing. Data X is compared with the cumulative data for data collections I-IX.
