To Eliminate "If Only I Had Known Earlier." Making Pregnancy a Choice, Not Luck. #AprilDream
TL Genomics has discovered that 'cellular aging' can serve as a new indicator of pregnancy potential, moving beyond traditional AMH tests. They aim for a society where women can make informed life plan choices without regrets.

TL Genomics Co., Ltd. (Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture; CEO: Tomohiro Kubo) endorses PR TIMES' 'April Dream' and shares the following dream:
A society where no one regrets 'if only I had known earlier' when they start thinking about pregnancy. We will realize a future where pregnancy can be chosen by information, not by luck.
[By the time they realized, time had passed ―― The reality faced by many women]
About 1 in 4.4 couples experience infertility testing or treatment, and about 1 in 2.5 couples worry that they 'might be infertile' (National Institute of Population and Social Security Research). Even so, many women experience 'missing the timing to go for testing' or 'realizing time had passed before they knew it.'
The problem is not a lack of willpower or effort. It is a structural issue: 'the information necessary to make a judgment did not exist in the first place.'
The conventional AMH test measures the 'number' of eggs. However, while some people do not become pregnant even with many eggs, others conceive naturally even with few eggs. Something that cannot be measured by 'number' alone has remained invisible for a long time.
[A new indicator revealed by science]
Through joint research with the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center and Osaka Metropolitan University, TL Genomics analyzed data from 500 women, mainly in their 30s. As a result, it became clear that the 'degree of aging at the cellular level' could be an indicator of pregnancy potential. This achievement was published in February 2026 in the international academic journal for reproductive medicine, 'Reproductive BioMedicine Online.'
The three findings obtained from the research are as follows:
1. AMH (egg count) and cell senescence show different information
We confirmed that there is no correlation between the AMH value and the indicator of cell senescence. This suggests the possibility that individual differences that cannot be seen by the number of eggs alone can be explained by the degree of aging of the body.
2. The more cell senescence progresses, the lower the natural pregnancy success rate tends to be
The relationship with the pregnancy success rate was quantitatively confirmed not by chronological age, but by biological indicators at the cellular level.
3. Even if cell senescence has progressed, there is no significant difference in the success rate of in vitro fertilization
This is a finding that shows the possibility of maintaining pregnancy potential by switching treatment policies at an early stage. In other words, neither 'age' nor the 'number of eggs', but the current state of the body has an important meaning in decision-making——science has shown that.
