Endometrial stromal cells of women with recurrent miscarriage fail to discriminate between high- and low-quality human embryos [PDF]
Background The aetiology of recurrent miscarriage (RM) remains largely unexplained. Women with RM have a shorter time to pregnancy interval than normally fertile women, which may be due to more frequent implantation of non-viable embryos.

Preimplantation Genetic Testing
ABSTRACT: Preimplantation genetic testing comprises a group of genetic assays used to evaluate embryos before transfer to the uterus. Preimplantation genetic testing-monogenic is targeted to single gene disorders, and preimplantation genetic testing-aneuploidy is a broader test that screens for aneuploidy in all chromosomes, including the 22 ...

Chromosomal disorders and male infertility [PDF]
Infertility in humans is surprisingly common occurring in approximately 15% of the population wishing to start a family. Despite this, the molecular and genetic factors underlying the cause of infertility remain largely undiscovered.

A Right to Choose?: Sex Selection in the International Context [PDF]
While there is some debate among doctors, ethicists, and the general public about the level of medical necessity that should justify a sex-selection procedure, most accept that sex selection for medical reasons is beyond ethical reproach, and in some ...

Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders [PDF]
Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) has evolved into a well-established alternative to invasive prenatal diagnosis, even though genetic testing of single or few cells is quite challenging. PGT-M is in theory available for any monogenic disorder for which the disease-causing locus has been unequivocally identified. In practice, the list of indications

The improvement of the best practice guidelines for preimplantation genetic diagnosis of cystic fibrosis: toward an international consensus [PDF]
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common indications for preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for single gene disorders, giving couples the opportunity to conceive unaffected children without having to consider termination of pregnancy. However,

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis : evaluation of results and experiences [PDF]
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is an established alternative for couples at high risk of having an affected child, with the advantage that the genetic testing is performed at the embryo stage and the couple can thereby avoid a pregnancy ...

Preimplantation Genetic Testing: Indications and Controversies [PDF]
In the last two decades, the use of preimplantation genetic testing has increased dramatically. This testing is used for identifying singlegene disorders, chromosomal abnormalities, mitochondrial disorders, gender selection in non-mendelian disorders with unequal gender distribution, aneuploidy screening, and other preconceptually identified genetic ...
