Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To develop a microarray platform that allows simultaneous assessment of aneuploidy and quantification of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in human polar bodies and embryos. DESIGN: Optimization and validation applied to cell lines and clinical samples (polar bodies, blastomeres, and trophectoderm biopsies). SETTING: University research laboratory and a preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) reference...
