Evaluation of telomere length in cumulus cells as a potential biomarker of oocyte and embryo quality
1 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: Is the relative telomere length in cumulus cells associated with embryo quality and the subject's age? SUMMARY ANSWER: The relative telomere length in cumulus cells at the time of oocyte collection may be a new potential biomarker for selecting highly competent oocytes and good quality embryos. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Telomeres play central roles in aging and in determining cell fate. In mammalian...
