Abstract

Ethnicity has been shown to be a factor in IVF success and differences in implantation, clinical, and ongoing pregnancies have been shown [1]. Aneuploidy is one of the best characterized barriers to ART success and, while ethnic background's link to single gene disorders is clearly established, little information exists regarding ethnicity and whole chromosome aneuploidy in IVF. With new methods of classifying continental ethnicity utilizing genetic profiles from a select group of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), termed ancestry informed of markers (AIMs), one can be determined with more accuracy than self-reporting [2].
