Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy: predictive embryonic factors.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

In a preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) cycle, does the blastocyst quality before biopsy, or the day of biopsy, or the embryo hatching status have an impact on either euploidy or the rate of embryo survival after freezing?

Methods

This was a retrospective study including 6130 biopsied blastocysts coming from 1849 PGT-A cycles performed in our center (2016-2022). Embryos were categorized according to the inner cell mass and trophectoderm quality, using Gardner's scoring (excellent: AA; good: AB, BA, BB; poor: AC, CA, BC, CB, CC); the day of biopsy (5 or 6); and their hatching status (fully hatched blastocysts [FHB] or non-fully hatched blastocysts [nFHB]). The independent relationship between each group and both euploidy and survival rate was asses
