“…The slides were air-dried, washed in PBS, and dehydrated in serial dilutions of ethanol for 2 min each. Commercially available multicolor FISH probes for chromosomes 13,15,16,18,21,22, X, and Y (Vysis, Downers Grove, IL, USA) were applied on nuclei of biopsied blastomeres in two consecutive rounds. Codenaturation, hybridization, washing, and nuclear staining steps were carried out in each round.…”
