Original Title: Kan undersökning av avvikelser i embryots kromosomer leda till att antalet födslar ökar vid assisterad befruktning? - Effekter och komplikationer av preimplantatorisk genetisk testning-aneuploidi (PGT-A) vid in vitro fertilisering (IVF)
Authors' objectives: Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A) is a form of prenatal genetic diagnosis of embryos to detect abnormal chromosome numbers before insertion of the embryo during in vitro fertilisation (IVF). An abnormal number of chromosomes can increase the risk for early miscarriage and is more common in older women. Theoretically, if only embryos with a normal number of chromosomes are inserted it increases the chances of a successful IVF treatment. We will investigate the following questions: What effect does preimplantation genetic testing – aneuploidy (PGT-A), with analysis of all chromosomes, in in vitro fertilization (IVF) have on outcomes related to pregnancy and quality of life? Which complications can preimplantation genetic testing (irrespective of type of PGT) lead to for the child and the pregnant woman? What is the relationship between costs and effects of IVF with PGT-A compared to IVF without PGT-A? Which ethical aspects of relevance in the Swedish context are associated with PGT-A in IVF?
