Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The embryonic genome, including genotypes and haplotypes, contains all the information for preimplantation genetic diagnosis, representing great potential for mendelian disorder carriers to conceive healthy babies. METHODS: We developed a strategy to obtain the full embryonic genome for a β-thalassemia-carrier couple to have a healthy second baby. We carried out sequencing for single blastomere cells...
