Are first-trimester screening markers altered in pregnancies conceived after IVF/ICSI?
It seems advisable to use a population of IVF/ICSI pregnancies to establish median curves for the first-trimester serum screening parameters and perhaps also for nuchal translucency thickness. However, care must be taken, as different ART treatment methods and aspects of medical history seem to alter the screening parameters in different ways.
These data suggest that MCMV infection plays an important role in the development of transplant arteriosclerosis.
