Genome sequencing of human in vitro fertilisation embryos for pathogenic variation screening

Abstract excerpt

Whole-genome sequencing of preimplantation human embryos to detect and screen for genetic diseases is a technically challenging extension to preconception screening. Combining preconception genetic screening with preimplantation testing of human embryos facilitates the detection of de novo mutations and self-validates transmitted variant detection in both the reproductive couple and the embryo's samples. Here we...
