Mitochondrial DNA Content May Not Be a Reliable Screening Biomarker for Live Birth After Single Euploid Blastocyst Transfer
An increasing number of studies have related the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content to embryo viability and transfer outcomes. However, previous studies have focused more on the relationship between mtDNA and embryo implantation, few studies have studied the effect of the mtDNA content on live birth....

An increasing number of studies have related the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content to embryo viability and transfer outcomes. However, previous studies have focused more on the relationship between mtDNA and embryo implantation, few studies have studied the effect of the mtDNA content on live birth. In the study, we investigated whether mtDNA content is a reliable screening biomarker for live birth after single blastocyst transfer. A total of 233 couples with 316 blastocyst stage embryos undergoing in vitro fertilization treatment and pre-implantation genetic testing analysis were included in the study. All embryos were chromosomally normal and had undergone single-embryo transfers. There was no significant difference observed in the blastocyst mtDNA content among the live birth, miscarriage and non-implanted groups (p=0.999), and the mtDNA content in blastocysts from the miscarriage and live birth groups was similar [median (interquartile range), 1.00*108(7.59*107- 1.39*108) vs 1.01*108 (7.37*107- 1.32*108)].
