The first days of development in the laboratory could leave a molecular trace in the genome of children conceived by in vitro fertilisation. Researchers at Sun Yat-sen University in China have identified a difference in the quantity and distribution of LINE-1 sequences, the so-called "salter genes", in children conceived by IVF, compared to those conceived by natural. However, the study is small in size and does not demonstrate that these differ…
More than 13 million children have been born worldwide through assisted reproduction (IVF). Now, a new study examines an intriguing question about whether the first days of an embryo’s development in the lab can leave a trace on its DNA. Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University in China have identified a difference in a category of DNA that […]
The researchers found differences in the DNA of children conceived through in vitro fertilization. They refer to the so-called “jumping genes”, but it is not yet known whether this feature affects children's health.
