Evaluation of the implementation in primary care of genetic testing for the screening of MODY2 (iMOgene): protocol for an implementation pilot study.

Introduction: MODY2 (maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 2, MIM125851) is a monogenic diabetes with an autosomal dominant transmission caused by a variant of the gene. MODY2 is often confused with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, but despite a slightly elevated blood glucose level, it does not induce long-term vascular complications, nor does it require pharmacological treatment. Genetic testing for the diagnosis of MODY2 is currently reserved for genetic specialists and some physicians.

[Increasing the cumulative live birth rate: Low-grade blastocysts, potential overlook].

It is now widely recognized that, following prolonged culture, the transfer of a high-quality morphologically graded blastocyst is the preferred strategy in embryo transfer. Low-grade blastocysts are often considered to have a low implantation potential, and their use remains highly limited. We conducted a general review of the literature, including publications from August 2017 to October 2023, to assess the current state of knowledge regarding these embryos, which are generally excluded in routine practice.
