Case report: Goldenhar syndrome following donor oocyte IVF

Authors: Victoria Gittins, Jason Kasraie

Published in: Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics | Issue 9-10/2010

Abstract

Purpose

To describe a case of Goldenhar syndrome in a couple receiving donated oocytes in an ‘egg sharing’ IVF cycle where the recipient of donor oocytes had Turner syndrome, hypothyroidism and gestational diabetes.

Methods

Case report

Results

Child born to oocyte recipient with Goldenhar syndrome

Conclusions

We believe this is the first reported case of a child born with Goldenhar syndrome following use of donated oocytes in IVF by a woman with Turner syndrome, hypothyroidism and gestational diabetes.
