Abstract:Previous studies have suggested that aneuploidy rates are co-related with cell asymmetry at the cleavage stage. A retrospective study was carried out to determine the significance of blastomere symmetry at the 4-cell stage on blastocyst grade and ploidy status. 732 Day 5/6 blastocysts from 191 patients undergoing Pre-implantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy were analysed with time-lapse imaging (Embryoscope, Vitrolife) during 2017. Blastomere symmetry was measured at the first image of 4-cells on Day 2 by … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
