Pre-implantation miscarriage ID to be offered for in vitro eggs+

(Japan Economic Newswire Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)TOKYO, Feb. 18_(Kyodo) _ The executive board of Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology agreed Saturday to introduce a policy to identify in vitro fertilized eggs that will not result in successful pregnancy for habitual miscarriage patients.



While the academy has so far allowed the method only to prevent severe muscular dystrophy, it will expand its applicable scope following an official approval at its general meeting in April in Yokohama, its officials said.

The condition of habitual miscarriage that doctors will diagnose is caused by the translocation of a chromosome that can be from either member of a couple, and accounts for some 4.5 percent of overall habitual miscarriages, they said.



In vitro fertilized ovum diagnosis has already been used for some 70 habitual miscarriage patients by a doctor in Kobe without seeking the society's permission. Of the 70, more than 10 patients later gave birth.
