    Pregnancies conceived using assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have low levels of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) leading to a high rate of false-positive results in first trimester screening for Down syndrome (2009), Hum. Reprod., 24, 1330-1338.

Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine a detailed analysis is performed of first trimester screening results in singleton pregnancies conceived using assisted reproductive technologies and non-assisted reproductive technologies pregnancies. A record linkage study compared outcomes in 1739 assisted reproductive technologies-conceived and 50.253 naturally conceived pregnancies. Assisted reproductive technologies pregnancies have reduced first trimester screening PAPP-A levels leading to an increased likelihood of receiving a false-positive result and having a CVS/amniocentesis. Lower PAPP-A may reflect impairment of early implantation with some forms of assisted reproductive technologies Homo sapiens
