Predicting embryonic aneuploidy rate in IVF patients using whole-exome sequencing.

ABSTRACT: Infertility is a major reproductive health issue that affects about 12% of women of reproductive age in the United States. Aneuploidy in eggs accounts for a significant proportion of early miscarriage and in vitro fertilization failure. Recent studies have shown that genetic variants in several genes affect chromosome segregation fidelity and predispose women to a higher incidence of egg aneuploidy. However, the exact genetic causes of aneuploid egg production remain unclear, making it difficult to diagnose infertility based on individual genetic variants in mother's genome. In this study, we evaluated machine learning-based classifiers for predicting the embryonic aneuploidy risk in female IVF patients using whole-exome sequencing data. Using two exome datasets, we obtained an area under
