BACKGROUND PGD for fragile X syndrome (FRAX) is inefficient, probably owing to fewer oocytes, poor embryo quality and difficulties in genetic analysis. We investigated IVF–PGD in FRAX mutation carriers compared with controls, looking at the effects of oocyte and embryo number/quality on live birth outcome. METHODS We performed IVF–PGD in 27 patients with the FRAX mutation and 33 controls with other genetic diseases. Genetic testing was by multiplex PCR. RESULTS Seventy-nine and 108 IVF–PGD cycles were started in FRAX mutation carriers and controls, respectively. Twenty-two patients had a premutation (CGG repeat number 60–200) and five had a full mutation (300–2000 CGG repeats). FRAX patients required higher doses of gonadotrophins (6788 ± 2379 versus 4360 ± 2330, P< 0.001) but had lower peak serum estradiol levels (8166 ± 5880 versus 10 211 ± 4673, P = 0.03) and fewer oocytes retrieved (9.8 ± 6 versus 14 ± 8, P = 0.01). The cancelation rate (unsatisfactory ovarian response) was higher in the FRAX group than in the control group (13 versus 1%, P < 0.001). When embryos were transferred, ongoing pregnancy/live birth rates per transfer were similar (29 versus 36%, P = 0.54). CONCLUSIONS Ovarian dysfunction in FRAX carriers is more prevalent and profound than previously appreciated, with a high cancelation rate and reduced efficiency of PGD. The main determinant for successful PGD for FRAX is ovarian dysfunction. When embryo transfer is possible, the results are comparable to PGD for other monogenic diseases.
