Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: Is the amount of cell-free DNA released by human embryos into culture medium correlated with embryo morphological features? SUMMARY ANSWER: The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content of culture medium is significantly associated with the fragmentation rate on Days 2 and 3 of embryo development, whether the oocyte came from women ≤ 35 or >35 years old.
