Chromosomal mosaicism throughout human preimplantation development in vitro: incidence, type, and relevance to embryo outcome
1 Feb 2002
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A large percentage of in-vitro generated cleavage stage human embryos are chromosomally mosaic, consisting of both normal (diploid) and abnormal (non-diploid) cells. The present study characterized mosaicism at each stage of cleavage division and examined its effect on preimplantation development in vitro. METHODS: A total of 216 normally fertilized (two-pronucleate) embryos which were not selected...
