Clinical outcomes following preimplantation genetic testing and microdissecting junction region in couples with balanced chromosome rearrangement.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to summarize the clinical outcomes of apparently balanced chromosome rearrangement (ABCR) carriers in preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) cycles by next-generation sequencing following microdissecting junction region (MicroSeq) to distinguish non-carrier embryos from balanced carriers.

Methods

A retrospective study of 762 ABCR carrier couples who requested PGT for structural rearrangements combined with MicroSeq at the Reproductive and Genetic Hospital of CITIC-Xiangya was conducted between October 2014 and October 2019.

Results

Trophectoderm biopsy was performed in 4122 blastocysts derived from 917 PGT-SR cycles and 3781 blastocysts were detected. Among the 3781 blastocysts diagnosed, 1433 (37.9%, 1433/3781) were balanced, of wh
