“…Although PCOS patients are typically characterized by producing an increased number of oocytes, they are often of poor quality, leading to lower fertilization, cleavage and implantation rates, and a higher miscarriage rate (Sengoku et al ., 1997; Ludwig et al ., 1999; Mulders et al ., 2003; Heijnen et al ., 2006; Weghofer et al ., 2007; Sahu et al ., 2008; Boomsma et al ., 2008). This evidence raises the issue that poor oocyte and embryo quality may contribute to increased aneuploidy rates (Munné et al ., 1995; Gianaroli et al ., 2003, 2007). However, recent data suggest that women with PCOS yield higher numbers of oocytes and produce more euploid embryos in IVF, but still result in lower pregnancy and increased miscarriage rates, which are not genetically associated with an increased risk for embryonic aneuploidy (Weghofer et al ., 2007).…”
