Cytoplasmic Transfer:
Cytoplasmic transfer was created to aid women who experience infertility due to deficient or damaged mitochondria, contained within an eggs cytoplasm Deficient mitochondria can lead to recurrent implantation failure, high levels of embryo fragmentation and overall poor embryo development. The incidence of compromised mitochondria increases with advanced maternal age, thought to occur near the age of 35. It has been found advantageous for young woment to donate cytoplasm to older women, creating rejuvenated eggs. This is particularly desirable for couples or women who wish to genetically contribute to any resulting embryo, given cytoplasmic transfer does not interfere with the primary nuclear DNA input from the recipient egg.
