Georges Raad: Could Oocyte Yield Be Associated with DNA Fragmentation in Cumulus Cells?

Georges Raad, Assistant Professor at the American University of Beirut, shared a post on LinkedIn about a paper he co-authored with colleagues published in Reproduction and Fertility:

“Could oocyte yield be associated with DNA fragmentation in cumulus cells?

In our prospective study of 112 ICSI cycles, higher cumulus-cell DNA fragmentation was associated with fewer COCs retrieved (ρ = -0.27, p = 0.003) and fewer mature MII oocytes (ρ = -0.24, p = 0.008).”

Title: Cumulus cell DNA fragmentation in relation to oocyte yield and blastocyst quality.

Authors: Georges Raad, Youmna Mourad, Gaelle El Asmar, Zalihe Yarkiner, Fadi Fakih, Ghina Ghazeeri, Chadi Fakih.
