Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To develop an experimental model to assess the feasibility of polar body preimplantation genetic diagnosis without requiring oocyte fertilization. METHODS: First polar body was removed from donated oocytes and second polar body was biopsied after parthenogenetic activation. Molecular analysis on both polar bodies involved a fluorescent multiplex polymerase chain reaction of short-tandem repeat markers,...
