Epigenetics play a vital role in early embryo development. Offspring conceived via assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) have a three times higher risk of epigenetic diseases than naturally conceived children. However, investigations into ART-associated placental histone modifications or sex-stratified analyses of ART-associated histone modifications remain limited.

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and retinoblastoma (RB) are well-described entities in premature babies. Although their pathogeneses are different, with ROP representing a disorder of interrupted development and RB a genetic disease, a few co-occurring cases have been reported, raising the possibility that the 2 conditions. Here, we report the sixth such case of co-occurring ROP and RB in an 8-month-old infant conceived by in vitro fertilization (IVF) who developed bilateral retinoblastoma a few months after treatment for advanced-stage ROP.

This study aimed to investigate the cost-effectiveness of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for the reproductive choices of patients with heritable retinoblastoma. The study modelled the costs of three cycles of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and PGD across all uptake rates of PGD, number of children affected with retinoblastoma at each uptake rate and the estimated quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) gained. Cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted from the Australian public healthcare perspective.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the potential effects of assisted reproductive technology (ART) on visual function and eye structure in women treated with ART and their children.
- A systematic review of literature up to August 2018 was conducted, filtering out non-relevant articles and assessing the quality of evidence using established guidelines.
- The findings suggest that while there are indications ART might affect eye-related aspects, the current evidence is limited and inconclusive, highlighting a need for further high-quality research in this area.

Background: In developed countries, genetically inherited eye diseases are responsible for a high percentage of childhood visual impairment. We aim to report our experience using preimplantation genetic diagnostics (PGD) in order to avoid transmitting a genetic form of eye disease associated with childhood visual impairment and ocular cancer.
Material And Methods: Retrospective case series of women who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) and PGD due to a familial history of inherited eye disease and/or ocular cancer, in order to avoid having a child affected with the known familial disease.
