演題:PGT-A past, present and future
The most common genetic abnormality identified in human embryos is aneuploidy. This abnormality is particularly common among embryos produced by in vitro fertilization (IVF), where more than half are aneuploid. For this reason, identifying the euploid embryos with the highest potential to implant and establish ongoing pregnancy is crucial. New molecular technologies have emerged in recent years to improve aneuploidy detection, and the latest one, Next Generation Sequencing, has allowed the identification of mosaicism in trophectoderm biopsies. On the other side, there have been different attempts to overcome trophectoderm biopsy to diagnose the chromosomal content of the embryos. Some groups started with the analysis of blastocoel fluid obtained by aspiration with a thin micropipette as a less invasive approach than TE biopsy. Later on, some groups proposed a “true” non-invasive approach consisting in the study of the spent culture media to analyze the embryonic cell free DNA released by the embryo during the latest stages of preimplantation development. After the first publications, several studies have compared the results in trophectoderm biopsies with the results of the spent culture media, to establish the concordance rates among both approaches. Our group have developed a non-invasive approach, Embrace, to prioritize the embryos for transfer based in the analysis of the spent culture media. This would represent a global strategy for every IVF patient who wants to increase the chance of having a healthy baby at home.
