Low IQ and autism 危険 from fertility 治療 for men with poor sperm?

  • A Swedish 熟考する/考慮する 設立する an extra 危険 in babies born after ICSI 治療
  • The technique 伴う/関わるs a sperm 存在 注入するd 直接/まっすぐに into the egg
  • 危険 may be 負かす/撃墜する to men passing on a higher 率 of genetic abnormalities

Fertility 治療 used to help men with poor sperm carries a わずかに greater 危険 of low IQ in children, say 研究員s.

There may also be a link with a 厳しい type of autism 影響する/感情ing twins and triplets conceived using the same type of 治療.

The 熟考する/考慮する 設立する the extra 危険 in babies born after ICSI 治療, where a sperm is 注入するd into the egg to 補償する for low sperm count or poor 質 sperm.

Low IQ risk: Sperm being injected into egg using the ICSI technique

It is 不明瞭な whether the higher 危険 is 誘発する/引き起こすd by men with sperm 損失 passing on a higher 率 of genetic abnormalities.

The techniques 伴う/関わるd may also play a part, as the highest 危険 was linked with 外科 to 抽出する sperm from the testicles in men with extreme fertility problems.

This 手続き led to a more than a four-倍の 増加するd chance of a child developing a 厳しい and 高度に 無能にするing form of autism.

Overall, the findings were 'reassuring' for couples having IVF treatment for infertility problems

But the scientists, who analysed data on more than 2.5million births, 強調する/ストレスd the chances of an ICSI baby 存在 影響する/感情d remained tiny in real 条件.

ICSI (intra-cytoplasmic sperm 注射) is used in just over half of all IVF 治療s in the UK.

The Swedish 熟考する/考慮する, published in the 定期刊行物 of the American 医療の 協会, is the first of its 肉親,親類d to compare a wide 範囲 of IVF 治療s and their 衝撃 on autism and 知識人 disability.

They 設立する a 51 per cent 増加するd 危険 of 知識人 impairment, an IQ below 70, in children conceived by IVF 治療s in which sperm 独房s are 注入するd 直接/まっすぐに into eggs.

This 量d to a rise from 62 per 100,000 children (0.062 per cent) to 92 per 100,000 (0.092 per cent).

Dr Avi Reichenberg, from the 学校/設ける of Psych iatry at King’s College London, said: ‘Our 熟考する/考慮する shows 治療s developed to manage male infertility are associated with an 増加するd 危険 for developmental disorders in offspring.’

Carol Povey, Director of the 国家の Autistic Society's Centre for Autism, said: 'Autism is a very コンビナート/複合体 条件 and is thought to be the result of many different underlying physical and genetic factors. We therefore 勧める people not to jump to 結論s when considering the 関わりあい/含蓄s of this 熟考する/考慮する.

'While we welcome 研究 that could help us better understand the 原因(となる)s of autism, the most important thing is that we work to 確実にする people with the disability receive the support they need to reach their 十分な 可能性のある.'
