Berlin, Germany: Aneuploidy (the presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes) in embryos is a major cause of impaired embryo development, leading to conditions such as Down syndrome, as well as to ...

Nearly half the embryos studied underwent developmental arrest because of genetic mishaps in early development—a revealing insight that suggests more IVF babies could come to term with changes in the ...

Twenty-five years after in vitro fertilization gave birth to a new industry, there have been many improvements in conceiving babies in the lab. As the union of infertility treatment and genetic ...

Non-invasive Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy is a novel technique used in in-vitro fertilisation to assess the chromosomal makeup of embryos without removing cells for biopsy. The ...

When they began their first two rounds of in vitro fertilization in 2015, Anna Dahlquist and her husband, Brian, took a common genetic test to determine the condition of the embryos they had created.

The most effective way to increase the odds that an embryo will successfully implant during in vitro fertilization (IVF) is genetic testing to see if the embryo is normal. But the news often isn't ...

Fetal abnormalities are of concern to all prospective parents, and many of these problems originate from abnormalities in the development of the embryo particularly during its elongation and division.

The test leads people undergoing in vitro fertilization to discard thousands of embryos each year. The new research found implanting some “abnormal” embryos resulted in healthy live births. By Azeen ...
