1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
Individuals carrying translocations suffer from reduced fertility or spontaneous abortions and seek help in form of assisted reproductive technology (ART) and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). While most translocations are relatively easy to detect in metaphase cells, the majority of embryonic cells biopsied in the course of in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures are in interphase.
