    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To examine cycle blastocyst euploid rates among age subgroups of oocyte donors. METHODS: Retrospective cohort analysis of ova donation in vitro fertilization cycles (OD-IVF) for which trophectoderm biopsy for preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) by array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) or next generation gene sequencing (NGS) was employed between January 2015 and December 2018 in a single high-volume fertility center. RESULTS: Compared to oocyte donors age 26-30, oocyte donors age ≤ 25 had similar cycle blastocyst euploid rates (80 [66.7, 87.5]%, vs. 75 [62.5, 87.5]%, median [IQR], p = 0.07), blastocyst formation rates (66.7 [50, 75]%, vs. 62.5 [52, 75]%, p = 0.55), and number of retrieved oocytes (29 [23, 37] vs. 27 [20, 35], p = 0.18). Age of oocyte donor from 18 to 34 was not correlated with cycle blastocyst euploid rate. CONCLUSION: Oocyte donors age ≤ 25 had similar cycle blastocyst euploid rates, blastocyst formation rates, and number of retrieved oocytes compared to donors age 26-30. There was no correlation between cycle blastocyst euploid rates and age of the oocyte donor from 18 to 34 years. Given the lack of significant age-related change in cycle blastocyst euploid rates, our data support existing practices which do not favor a specific age subgroup of young oocyte donors.
