Incidence of Chromosomal Aberrations in Embryos From a Fertile Group of Patients

Abstract

Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) has been used primarily for the detection of chromosomal aberrations in embryos of patients with recurrent miscarriages or failed implantation. Unlike other patient populations where PGD has been applied, who suffer either from certain degree of infertility and/or genetic defects, our PGD program primarily treats patients for family balancing, as well as aneuploidy screening. The aim of the study was to investigate the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in this group of fertile patients.
