Aneuploidy in the Human Cleavage Stage Embryo
1 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
The cleavage stage embryo (days 1-3) stands out due to the high level of chromosomal anomalies, especially mosaicism that arises prior to global embryonic genome activation. Molecular cytogenetic studies show that an average of 60% of in vitro derived embryos have at least one aneuploid cell by the time they are 3 days old. However, comprehensive studies of the chromosome content of individual cells have revealed...
