In mice, fertility treatments linked to higher mutations than natural conception While the results do not directly apply to humans, they highlight the importance of understanding how fertility treatments affect an offspring’s DNA.

Mice pups conceived with #IVF in the lab have slightly increased rates of DNA mutations, compared to pups conceived naturally, a new study suggests. 🧬πŸ§ͺ

The results do not directly apply to humans, but highlight the importance of understanding how fertility treatments affect an offspring’s DNA.
