LAB 1 ASSESSMENT

1. Identify the origin of In Vitro Fertilization and the 2010 nobel prize winner associated with this technique.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a fertility technique which proved to be successful as early as 1978 with the birth of Louise Brown on the 25th July, 1978, in Oldham, Greater Manchester, UK.. Brown became known as the world's first successful IVF babies with credit given to the partnership of embryologist Dr. Robert G. Edwards and gynecologist Dr. Patrick C. Steptoe. Dr. Robert G. Edwards was awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his development of IVF.

2. Identify a recent paper on fertilisation and describe its key findings.

Reference: Singh N, Gupta P, Mittal S, Malhotra N. Correlation of body mass index with outcome of in vitro fertilization in a developing country. Arch Gynecol Obstet. 2011 Jul 27. [Epub ahead of print] PubMed PMID: 21792549.

This article’s main objective is to examine the effect of a woman’s body mass index (BMI) on ovarian response to stimulation and the outcome of IVF. The findings showed that oocyte quality decreased with increasing BMI, resulting in reduced clinical pregnancy rate and thus impairment of IVF outcome. It was also shown that an increase in BMI does not affect ovarian response to stimulation.

3. Identify 2 congenital anomalies.

- Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome)

- Polydactyly
