Where is this process currently available? Please view the Current Results page for the most recent data. Our experience indicates that pregnancies are attained at approximately the same rate with MicroSort® sperm separation as those without MicroSort sperm separation.
The number of attempts ( cycles) necessary to become pregnant depends on many factors including the age of the patient, the quality of the semen specimen, the type of clinical procedure ( IUI, IVF, or ICSI), and numerous other factors. How many tries does it take to get pregnant? A child of the desired gender cannot be guaranteed because the current technology does not completely exclude either female or male sperm cells from the enriched sample. These data are determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization ( FISH) which allows the number of X- and Y-bearing sperm cells to be counted from a fraction of the sorted sample. MicroSort® sperm separation for male gender selection (YSort) currently results in an average of 73% Y-bearing sperm in the sorted specimen. What is the chance of getting the desired gender?Ĭurrently, MicroSort® sperm separation for female gender selection (XSort) results in an average of 88% X-bearing sperm in the sorted specimen.

#IN THE TEST OF THE XSORT METHOD OF GENDER SELECTION TRIAL#
*Please Note: At this time, new enrollment in the clinical trial is limited to couples attempting to prevent sex-linked or sex-limited disease by using MicroSort® sorted sperm. Couples using MicroSort® for the prevention of X-linked disorders may also consider using preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD).
For couples who need additional assistance achieving pregnancy, MicroSort® can be used with in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). For most couples, the sorted sperm sample is then used with simple intrauterine insemination (IUI) to achieve pregnancy. MicroSort® is used before conception to separate sperm into those that either primarily produce girls or those that primarily produce boys. D., Sweeting, H., and Browitt, A.MicroSort® is a scientific method, currently in clinical trial, that increases the chance of a couple having a child of a particular gender. Item Type:īrowitt, Ms Alison and Sartania, Dr Nana and McClure, Dr John and Sweeting, Dr Helen UKCAT has a modest predictive power for overall course performance at the University of Glasgow Medical School over and above that of school science achievements or pre-admission interview score and we conclude that UKCAT is the most useful predictor of final ranking. UKCAT showed less socio-demographic variation than did TSS. School science achievements predicted EPM (p = 0.009) pre-admissions interview score predicted neither. In mutually adjusted analyses (also adjusted for socio-demographic confounders), only UKCAT total showed independent relationships with both EPM (p = 0.005) and H&C (p = 0.004). Analyses were conducted both with and without adjustment for potential socio-demographic confounders (gender, age, ethnicity and area deprivation).ĭespite its predictive value declining as students progress through the course, UKCAT was strongly associated with the final composite scores.
We examined the associations which UKCAT scores, school science grades and pre-admissions interview scores had with performance indicators, particularly final composite scores that determine students' postgraduate training opportunities and overall ranking (Educational Performance Measure - EPM, and Honours and Commendation - H&C). This was a retrospective observational study of one cohort of students, admitted to Glasgow Medical School in 2007. This longitudinal study examines the predictive validity of UKCAT for final performance in the undergraduate medical degree programme at one Medical School and compares this with the predictive validity of the selection measures available pre-UKCAT. The UK Clinical Aptitude Test (UKCAT) and its four subtests are currently used by 26 Medical and Dental Schools in the UK for admissions.
