Impact of male factor on recurrent pregnancy loss

  • 1. Impact  of  male  factor  on   recurrent  pregnancy  loss   Osama  M  Warda  MD   Prof.  of  obstetrics  and  gynecology     Mansoura  university  
  • 2. Background     •  Recurrent  pregnancy  loss  (RPL)  is  tradi=onally   defined  as  3  or  more  consecu=ve  pregnancy   losses(RCOG),  OR  as  2  or  more  consecu=ve   pregnancy  losses  (ACOG).   •  Greater  than  50%  of  cases  remain  unexplained,   even  aLer  an  extensive  workup  (Puschecka  &   Jeyendranb  2007).     •  The  en=re  evalua=on  focuses  on  the  female,  with   the  excep=on  of  gene=cs  of  the  products  of   concep=on  and  gene=cs  of  the  individuals  of  the   couple.     osama  warda   2  
  • 3. Background     •  The    female  evalua=on  may  reveal  one  of  the  following   major  causes:                      1-­‐  Endocrine  causes,                    2-­‐  Anatomical  causes;  uterine  defects,                    3-­‐  Infec;ous  causes,                      4-­‐  Immunological  causes,                    5-­‐  Gene;c  causes,                      6-­‐Thrombophilia.     •  Gene;c  abnormali=es  are  the  commonest  cause  of   spontaneous  miscarriage  cons=tu=ng  about  50%  of   cases.       osama  warda   3  
  • 4. Background   •  Gene=c  abnormali=es  within  the  individuals  of   the  couple  occur  in:        -­‐    1–4%  of  couples  with  RPL        -­‐  0.7%  of  the  general  popula=on                                  (  Li  TC  et  al  2002)     osama  warda   4  
  • 5. Background     •  The  gene=c  evalua=on  of  the  products  of   concep=on  and  of  the  couple  typically  consists   only  of  the  karyotypes.     •  A  karyotype  includes  an  evalua=on  of  the   number  of  chromosomes  and  any  large   dele;ons,  duplica;ons  or  transloca;ons.     (Puschecka  E  &  Jeyendranb  R  2007)   osama  warda   5  
  • 6. Background     •  The  most  common  karyotype  abnormali=es   that  are  iden=fied  within  the  products  of    concep=on  are  missing  or  addi;onal   chromosomes.     •  These  assays  will  not  detect  small  dele;ons,   subs;tu;ons,  duplica;ons,  transloca;ons  or   point  muta;ons.  (These  smaller  gene;c   disorders  may  account  for  many  more  of  these   miscarriages).       osama  warda   6  
  • 7.  Male  as  a  poten9al  cause  of  RPL     •  It  would  make  sense  that  recurrent   pregnancy  loss  may  have  a  male   factor  since  the  male  gamete   contributes  one-­‐half  of  the  genomic   content  to  the  embryo.       osama  warda   7  
  • 8. Male  as  a  poten9al  cause  of  RPL     •  karyotype  of  the  male  was  the  only  evalua=on   done  .     •  The  gene=cs  of  recurrent  abor=on  may  result   from  two  chromosomal  abnormali=es:              1-­‐  a  structural  abnormality  derived  from  one   parent  (transloca;on,  inversions,  etc.);  or          2-­‐  the  occurrence  of  a  numerical  abnormality   (extra  or  missing  chromosome),  which  is  usually   not  inherited.       osama  warda   8  
  • 9. Male  as  a  poten9al  cause  of  RPL     •  Animal  studies;     The  male  genome  contributes  more  to  the  placenta   than  the  female  genome.        -­‐  In  androgenodes  (pregnancy  conceived  with  two   male  gametes)  the  pregnancy  consists  of  en=rely   placenta,  whereas;    -­‐  in  gynegenodes  (pregnancy  conceived  from  two   female  gametes)  the  pregnancy  results  in  an   embryo  with  no  or  very  li]le  placenta.                                                (Spindle  et  al  1996)     osama  warda   9  
  • 10. Male  as  a  poten9al  cause  of  RPL     •  Animal  studies:     The  findings  from  mouse  studies  suggest  that   the  male  may  be  important  for  decidual  vascular   remodeling  and  this  mechanism  may  not  occur   or  may  be  abnormal  in  some  cases  of  recurrent   pregnancy  loss  (Dixon  et  al.  2006)       osama  warda   10

  • 13. osama  warda   13   This  study  demonstrated  a  strong  associa9on  between  RPL  and  the   prevalence  of  chromosomal  abnormali9es  and  inherited   thrombophilia.  Given  the  high  rate  of  consnguineous  marriages  in   the  Saudi  popula9on,  these  results  underline  the  importance  of   systemic  cytogene9c  inves9ga9on  and  gene9c  counselling   preferably  at  the  premarital  stage  or  at  least  during  early   pregnancy  phase  through  PGD        
  • 14. CONCLUSION:  Couples  with  pregnancy  loss  produce   chromosomally  abnormal  embryos  in  a  significantly   higher  percentage  than  those  not  having  this   reproduc;ve    problem  which  are  mainly  due  to   non-­‐dysjunc;on.  Once  an  unbalanced  transloca;on   in  the  (fetus  /  child  )has  been  iden;fied,  parental  karyotype   is  essen;al.     osama  warda   14  
  • 15. A  total  of  495  couples  were  included  in  the  study.  Mean   age  of  the  female  pa=ents  was  30.6  years  (range:  19–44).   Parental  chromosome  analysis  was  performed  in  all  of   the  495  couples.  Among  these  990  subjects,  a  major   chromosomal  abnormality  was  detected  in  28  cases  (2.8%   of  all  cases,  5.7%  of  the  couples)  .  16  (57.1%)  of  the   abnormali;es  were  in  females,  and,  12  (42.9)  of  the   abnormali=es  were  in  males.   osama  warda   15  
  • 16. Structural  Chromosomal  Abnormali=es    Transloca=ons      -­‐  Reciprocal  transloca;ons  are  usually  an  exchange  of   material  between  non-­‐homologous  chromosomes.   -­‐   Robertsonian  transloca;on  is  a  type  of  transloca=on   caused  by  breaks  at  or  near  the  centromeres  of  two   acrocentric  chromosomes.  The  reciprocal  exchange  of   parts  gives  rise  to  one  large  metacentric  chromosome   and  one  extremely  small  chromosome  that  may  be  lost   from  the  organism  with  li]le  effect  because  it  contains   so  few  genes.  The  resul=ng  karyotype  in  humans  leaves   only  45  chromosomes,  since  two  chromosomes  have   fused  together.     osama  warda   16  
  • 18. Structural  Chromosomal  Abnormali9es   •  If  the  re-­‐arrangement  of  the  chromosomes   results  in  crea=ng  gametes  with  unbalanced   transloca;ons,  then  the  resul=ng  offspring   typically  do  not  result  in  live  births  but  abort.   •  Couples,  where  one  or  both  carry  a  balanced   transloca=on,  are  at  higher  risk  for   miscarriage  due  to  the  fact  that  they  may   produce  balanced  or  unbalanced  gametes.       osama  warda   18  
  • 19. Structural  Chromosomal  Abnormali=es   •  Balanced  transloca=ons    are  associated  with   reduced  pregnancy  rates  and  increased   miscarriages.     •  The  es=mated  incidence  of  Robertsonian   transloca=on  is  about  0.1%  in  the  general   popula=on  [Morel  &  Bresson  2001].     •  In  couples  with  recurrent  abor=on,  the   prevalence  is  reported  as  high  as  approximately   8%  [Sugiura  et  al  2004]     osama  warda   19  
  • 20. Structural  Chromosomal  Abnormali=es   •   Men  with  a  transloca=on  can  have  gametes   with  a  normal,  a  balanced  or  an  unbalanced   complement  of  chromosomes  that  can  lead  to   normal,  balanced  or  unbalanced  offspring.     •  If  one  parental  carrier  has  a  21q21q   transloca=on  or  iso-­‐chromosome,  then  there   is  a  100%  recurrence  risk  of  trisomy  21  –  and   about  50  –  80%  risk  of  trisomy  21  fetuses   result  in  miscarriage  [Leporrier  et  al  2003]     osama  warda   20  
  • 21. Structural  Chromosomal  Abnormali=es   •  A  Japanese  study  [Sugiura  et  al  2004]    of  1,284   recurrent-­‐loss  couples  revealed  higher  miscarriage   rates  associated  with  the  male  as  the  carrier  of  the   abnormal  karyotype  In  these  cases,  men  with   reciprocal  transloca=ons  had  a  61.1%  miscarriage  rate,   men  with  Robertsonian  transloca=ons  had  a  36.4%   miscarriage  rate,  and  men  with  inversions  had  a   miscarriage  rate  of  28  –  42.9%.   •  They  concluded  that  “The  pregnancy  prognosis  with   either  maternal  or  paternal  reciprocal  transloca;ons  is   poorer  than  without  them.  The  presence  of  a  reciprocal   transloca;on  is  thus  a  risk  factor  in  couples  who  have   recurrent  miscarriages.”     osama  warda   21  
  • 22. Numerical  chromosomal  abnormali=es   •  Chromosomal  abnormali=es  involving  an  abnormal   number  of  chromosomes  typically  result  in  miscarriage   when  this  occurs  in  the  fetus;  living  men  may  have  an   extra  chromosome.     •  The  more  common  of  these  disorders  include  Down’s   syndrome  (trisomy  21;  incidence  1  in  600)  and   Kleinfelter’s  syndrome  (47,  XXY;  incidence  1  in  2000).   Most  of  these  men  are  thought  to  have  significantly   reduced  fer=lity  or  sterility  and  high  miscarriage  rates   of  50%  or  more  [Leporrier  et  al  2003]    .     osama  warda   22  
  • 23. osama  warda   23   Fer=lity  associa=on   of  Memphis  –USA   (2017)  
  • 24. Chromosomal  rearrangements  were  found  in  170  individuals   (3.5%).  Transloca;ons  were  seen  in  72  (42.35%)  cases.  Of   these,  reciprocal  transloca=ons  cons=tuted  42  (24.70%)  cases   while  Robertsonian  transloca=ons  were  detected  in  30   (17.64%)  cases.  7  (4.11%)  cases  were  mosaic,  8  (4.70%)  had   small  supernumerary  marker  chromosomes  and  1  (0.6%)  had   an  inters==al  microdele=on.  Nearly,  78  (1.61%)  cases  with   heteromorphic  variants  were  seen  of  which  inversion  of  Y   chromosome  (57.70%)  and  chromosome  9  pericentromeric   variants  (32.05%)  were  predominantly  involved.   osama  warda   24  
  • 25. Conclusion  :  Gene=c  variables  appear  to  play  a  complex  role   in  the  efficiency  of  human  reproduc=on.  Classically,  high  rates   of  chromosomal  errors  have  been  among  the  leading   e9ologies  for  fetal  loss  and  more  recent  studies  have  begun   to  highlight  the  important  role  that  specific  single  gene   defects  may  play  in  pregnancy  maintenance.  PGD  may  be   indicated  in  a  small  propor;on  of  couples  with  defined   transloca;ons  or  select  single  gene  disorders.     osama  warda   25

  • 27. CONCLUSION:  Semen  profile  and  sperm  func=on  tests   scores  were  significantly  lower  in  the  RPL  group  when   compared  to  the  control  group.  Through  this  pilot  study  it  is   significant  that  male  factor  might  be  a  possible  contribu;ng   factor  towards  RPL.  Apart  from  rou;ne  semen  analysis,   sperm  func;on  tests  may  be  an  informa;ve  tool  in  cases  of   idiopathic  RPL.  Therefore  both  the  partners  should  be   evaluated  and  treated  simultaneously  in  order  to  achieve   successful  pregnancy.     osama  warda   27

  • 31. Sperm  chromosome:  numerical  abnormality     •  Carrell  et  al.  [2003]  reported  a  sta;s;cally  higher  mean   sperm  aneuploidy  rate  in  men  of  unexplained  recurrent   miscarriage  couples  than  in  the  general  popula;on  or   fer;le  controls.  Addi=onally,  they  found  that  the   percentage  of  aneuploid  sperm  was  correlated  to  the   percentage  of  apopto=c  sperm  using  a  TUNEL  assay  .     •  DNA  fragmenta;on  is  a  hallmark  of  apoptosis  in   human  sperm.  Many  Studies  showed    increased   apoptosis  in  the  semen  of  infer=le  men  and  increased   abnormal  sperm  morphology  inversely  correlated  with   IVF  outcome.     osama  warda   31

  • 44. Paternal  age     •  Paternal  age  is  also  associated  with  gain-­‐of-­‐ func;on  muta;ons  within  sperm  that  have   detrimental  effects  on  embryos.  These  muta=ons   occur  in  3  iden=fied  hot  spots:  FGFR2,  FGFR3,  and   RET.  These  genes  encode  for  tyrosine  kinase   receptors  .  Each  of  these  muta=ons  is  associated   with  an  autosomal  dominant  effect  on  the   progeny  (achondroplasia,  Apert’s  syndrome,  etc.)   –  if  they  survive  to  delivery.                                                (  Crow  JF,  2003)   osama  warda   44  
  • 45. Miscellaneous  factors     •  Addi=onal  factors  that  may  affect  sperm  and   recurrent  pregnancy  loss  include  the   following:                (1)  Mannan  binding  protein                (2)  Therapeu=c  agents              (3)  others     osama  warda   45  
  • 46. Mannan  Binding  Protein  (MBP)   •  There  is    associa=on  between  a  deficiency  in   MBP  protein  in  either  male  or  female  partner   and  recurrent  miscarriages.  (Kilpatrick  et  al   1995).  This  associa=on  was  stronger  when  the   individuals  were  homozygous  for  the  mutant   allele  responsible  for  MBP  deficiency.  At  a  cut-­‐ off  level  value  of  MBP  =  0.6  the  recurrent   pregnancy  loss  was  35%    (Kilpatrick  et  al   1999).     osama  warda   46  
  • 47. Therapeu=c  agents     •  Ionizing  radia=on,  air  pollu=on,  and  other   environmental  exposures  have  been   implicated  in  inducing    muta;ons  or  sperm   aneuploidy  (  Puschecka  E  &  Jeyendranb  2007).   •   Medical  treatment  (i.e.  chemotherapy  and   radia=on)  for  cancer  treatment  can  increase   the  mutagenic  rate  of  sperm  DNA  (Puschecka   et  al  2004).     osama  warda   47  
  • 48. Therapeu=c  agents     •  Some    studies  reported    that  the  nucleoside   analog  reverse  transcriptase  inhibitor   exposure,  typically  used  to  treat  HIV  and  other   retroviral  disorders  ,  could  induce  an   altera=on  on  the  mitochondrial  energy-­‐ genera=ng  ability  of  spermatozoa  leading  to   increased  sperm  DNA  fragmenta=on  and   eventually  recurrent  pregnancy  loss  (Sergerie   et  al.204)  .     osama  warda   48  
  • 49. CONCLUSION   •  The  appropriate  management  for  male  partners  of   couples  with  recurrent  pregnancy  loss  (RPL)  or   recurrent  implanta=on  failure  during  in  vitro   fer=liza=on  (IVF)  remains  unclear.   •   Despite  normal  semen  parameters,  male  partners   in  couples  with  RPL  or  recurrent  implanta=on   failure  could  have  underlying  gene=c  abnormali=es   in  sperm  DNA  that  can  be  iden=fied.                                (  Dickey  &  Ramasamy2015)       osama  warda   49  
  • 50. CONCLUSION   •  There  are  a  couple  of  diagnos=c  tests  that  we   recommend  in  the  evalua=on  of  these  men,  the   first  being  DNA  Fragmenta=on  Index  (DFI)  and   the  second,  fluorescence  in  situ  hybridiza=on   (FISH)  for  evalua=ng  sperm  aneuploidy.   •  Taken  together,  both  DFI  and  FISH  tes=ng  are   recommended  in  the  work-­‐up  of  male  factor  in   couples  with  recurrent  pregnancy  loss  or   recurrent  IVF  failure.       osama  warda   50  
  • 51. CONCLUSION   •  Men  with  increased  DFI  in  ejaculated   sperm  may  be  counseled  for  a  tes=cular   biopsy  in  combina=on  with  ICSI,     •   Those  with  increased  sperm  aneuploidy   can  be  advised  to  undergo  IVF  combined   with  PGS.       osama  warda   51  
  • 52. CONCLUSION     •  High  magnifica=on  ICSI  (  =  IMSI):    in  a   Cochrane  review  authors  concluded  that     results  from  RCTs  do  not  support  the  clinical   use  of  IMSI.  There  is  no  evidence  of  effect  on   live  birth  or  miscarriage  and  the  evidence  that   IMSI  improves  clinical  pregnancy  is  of  very  low   quality  (Teixeira  et  al  2013)   osama  warda   52  
  • 53. CONCLUSIONS   •  An=oxidants  may  help  to  reduce   sperm  DNA  fragmenta=on  rates  ,   hence    lower  pregnancy  loss  rates   (Greco  et  al  2005).     osama  warda   53
