About

The present project is an ambispective study designed to answer how HLA-F SNPs, as well as KIR-HLA-C compatibility, influence reproductive outcomes in oocyte donation cycles. On the one hand, healthy patients without history of RIF and RM and with indication of egg donation cycle as ART treatment will be genotype for KIR, HLA-C and HLA-F. HLA-C from male partners and egg donors will be also analyzed. No matching based on HLA-C genotypes would be performed and donors would be assigned to recipients following the routine clinical practices. After SET, patients will be followed up until delivery or until the end of treatment. On the other hand, access to data from patients who have equally undergone oocyte-donation cycles, who meet the inclusion criteria and who have been genotyped for KIR and HLA-C as a matter of routine practice, will be requested.

For this study, only the first SET of oocyte-donation that patients undergo will be considered. LBR will be the primary endpoint of the study. In addition, secondary endpoints such as embryo development, sustained implantation, progesterone levels, implantation failure, miscarriage rate and unwanted events (preeclampsia, fetal grow restriction, premature birth, low birth weight...) will also be evaluated.

Full description

This is an ambispective study in which healthy patients without history of RIF and RM and with indication of egg donation cycle as ART treatment will be genotyped for KIR, HLA-C and HLA-F. Male partners and egg donors will also be studied for their HLA-C alleles. Patients would be assigned to donors, following routine clinical practice, without matching based on donor's HLA-C genotype. They would undergo SET and be followed up until delivery.

In addition to this prospective part, we will request access to data from patients who have equally undergone oocyte donation cycles at the clinic, who meet the inclusion criteria and who have been genotyped for KIR and HLA-C as a matter of routine practice.

Combinations of maternal KIR and HLA-C genotypes of the egg donor and fetus (based on the genotypes of the donor and male partner), as well as different HLA-F SNP genotypes of the recipients (form the prospective part of this proyect) will be correlated with reproductive outcomes. LBR will be the primary endpoint of the study. In addition, secondary endpoints such as embryo development, sustained implantation, progesterone leves, implantation failure and miscarriage rate will also be evaluated. Obstetrical complications such as preeclampsia, premature birth (<34 weeks) and low birth weight will also be evaluated.
