ABSTRACT: Purpose
To investigate the occurrence of multinucleated blastomeres (MNB) in poor ovarian response (POR) women defined under the Bologna criteria.Methods
This observational study was designed in a prospective controlled manner. Among 380 cases evaluated for eligibility, 102 women were found suitable and recruited; 51 with POR in accordance with the Bologna criteria defined as the study group and 51 with normal ovarian response defined as the control group.Results
Among the 51 women in each group, 8 and 2 did not achieve embryos in the study and control group, respectively (P?ConclusionsBlastomere multinuclearity is significantly more common in women and embryos of POR cases, defined under the Bologna criteria. Future studies are warranted to substantiate our observation that has the potential to be clinically implemented in this sub-group of women undergoing assisted reproductive technologies (ART) treatment.
