Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Aafke Van Montfoort"
- Aafke van Montfoort's recent research primarily focuses on the implications of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) on offspring, examining factors like mitochondrial DNA variations, methylation patterns, and embryo culture environments related to birthweight and other health outcomes.
- In one of her notable studies, she found that children born from ART have a distinct mitochondrial genotype associated with lower birthweight, suggesting a potential link between mitochondrial function and prenatal development outcomes.
- Another significant finding indicates that varying embryo culture media used in ART do not significantly alter the methylome of children, challenging the hypothesis that these environmental factors mediate growth and health differences among IVF children.
