Zusammenfassung
Die Polkörperdiagnostik kann im Rahmen einer Maßnahme der assistierten Reproduktion in Übereinstimmung mit dem deutschen Embryonenschutzgesetz zum indirekten Nachweis von Chromosomenfehlverteilungen in Eizellen eingesetzt werden. Die Methode wird insbesondere bei älteren Patientinnen und bei Paaren mit mehreren erfolglosen Behandlungszyklen angeboten. Die bisher in Deutschland erzielten Ergebnisse bestätigen die international bekannten Daten. Eine Aussage zu der Wertigkeit dieser Technik kann jedoch nur mit einer prospektiven Studie getroffen werden.
Abstract
Polar body diagnosis is a suitable technique to reveal numerical chromosomal disorders in human oocytes and can be performed in compliance with the German Embryo Protection Law. At present this method is offered to patients with advanced maternal age and to couples with previous implantation failures. So far the results are in accordance with those reported in the international literature. However, the benefit of this new technique can only be assessed in a prospective study.
