Concordance of various chromosomal errors among different parts of the embryo and the value of re-biopsy in embryos with segmental aneuploidies.

ABSTRACT: Chromosomal mosaicism detected during preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) and its impact on embryo implantation have been widely discussed, and healthy live births from mosaic embryos were reported by many groups. On the other hand, only very few studies have focused on segmental chromosome aneuploidies and their clinical impact. Eighty-nine embryos with various PGT-A results (trophectoderm 1: TE1) were re-analysed using a second trophectoderm biopsy (TE2) and the rest of the embryo (RE) for testing. Of 19 euploid TE1 biopsies, 18 were concordant across TE2 and RE. Similarly, whole chromosomal aneuploidies were concordant in 59 of 62 TE1-TE2 and 58 TE1-RE. In contrast, from 31 segmental aneuploidies detected in TE1, only 15 were observed again in TE2 and 14 in RE. If a T
