METHODS FOR SELECTING COMPETENT OOCYTES AND COMPETENT EMBRYOS WITH HIGH POTENTIAL FOR PREGNANCY OUTCOME

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for selecting an oocyte that when fertilized produces a viable embryo with a high implantation rate leading to pregnancy by measuring, in a cumulus cell surrounding said oocyte, the expression level of 45 specific genes which consist in WNT6, LRCH4, PAX8, CABP4, PDE5A, BCL2L11, PCK1, TCF20, SLAMF6, EPOR, CACNG6, NLRP1, PECAM1, NOS1, ATF3, KRTAP8, GRIK5, SLC24A3, SLC5A12, SLCA10A2, SLCO1A2, SLC25A5, MG29, NLGN2, PRKACA, FOSB, SIAT6, LOXL2, PRF1, ADPRH, APBB3, EGR3, CNR2, IFITM1, PLA2G5, CAMTA1, SOX4, NFIB, NFIC, RBMS1, G0S2, FAT3, SLC40A1, GPC6 and IGF1R
