In the past 25 years, the frequency of assisted reproductive technology (ART) births has increased rapidly to account for 1-2% of all births in many developed countries. ART procedures such as in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection are generally considered to be safe, but recent studies suggest a small excess of birth defects and low-birth weight in ART children.

متن کاملA survey of assisted reproductive technology births and imprinting disorders.
BACKGROUND Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic process in which allele-specific gene expression is dependent on the parental inheritance. Although only a minority of human genes are imprinted, those that have been identified to date have been preferentially implicated in prenatal growth and neurodevelopment. Mutations or epimutations in imprinted genes or imprinting control centres are associat...
متن کاملImprinting disorders after assisted reproductive technologies.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To assess the evidence of an increased risk of imprinting diseases in children born after use of assisted reproductive technologies. RECENT FINDINGS Imprinting disorders occur when the epigenetic programming during gametogenesis is disturbed, or when this programming is not sufficiently sustained during the process of fertilization and early embryonic development. Ten case o...
