Problems solved by technology

At present, the commonly used embryo selection technology is embryo morphology scoring, which mainly judges the quality of embryos by evaluating the development speed, blastomere size, fragments and vacuoles of embryos. The disadvantage of this method is that the subjective factors of ev...

Abstract

The invention provides application of a growth differentiation factor 9 in prediction of embryonic development potential and belongs to the technical field of assisted reproduction. The invention aims to provide a safe and non-invasive marker of embryonic development potential and relates to a method for predicting the embryonic development potential by detecting the GDF9 level in a human embryo in-vitro culture solution. The GDF9 content in the embryo culture solution on the third day is obviously related to the embryonic development potential. The method comprises the following steps of: obtaining an embryo culture solution; determining the absorbance of the embryo culture solution; determining the absorbance of a culture solution without embryos; adopting the absorbance of a GDF9 standard substance solution and the concentration of the GDF9 standard substance as a standard curve; and comparing the absorbance of the embryo culture solution with the standard curve to obtain the concentration of the GDF9 of the embryo culture solution; and evaluating the embryo development potential by using the concentration of the GDF9. The biopsy of an embryo is not needed, so that the method not only has the advantage of noninvasiveness, but also can improve the living yield of a single assisted reproduction treatment cycle, and has relatively high clinical significance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of assisted reproduction, and in particular relates to the application of growth differentiation factor 9 in predicting the developmental potential of embryos. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of biological sciences, assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have made great progress in recent years, especially in IVF laboratory technology, but the clinical outcomes are still not satisfactory. According to the latest 2017 national ART data released by the US CDC, the implantation rate of transplanted embryos is only 37.1% for patients younger than 35 years old; as the age increases, the implantation rate of embryos also decreases, respectively: 27.5% (35 -37 years old), 18.3% (38-40 years old), 9.7% (41-42), 4.1% (43-44), among female assisted conception patients over 45 years old, embryos rarely implanted in 2.2%. [0003] Current research shows that embryo selection is an important factor ...
