OBJECTIVE: To report a possible association between intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)-preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and monozygotic multiple gestation. DESIGN: Small case series. SETTING: In vitro fertilization unit in an academic medical center. PATIENT(S): Three patients were treated with ICSI-PGD for sexing as well as selection against a known translocation. INTERVENTION(S): Transfer of day 4 embryos to the uterus. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Clinical pregnancy. RESULT(S): Two pairs of monozygotic twins and a triplet pregnancy. CONCLUSION(S): Repeated manipulation of the zona pellucida as well as extended embryo culture during ICSI-PGD treatments may result in monozygotic twin and triplet pregnancies. |
