Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine whether next-generation sequencing (NGS) could be used to directly detect different mutations of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) during preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). METHODS: From Sep. 2016 to Aug. 2018, a total of six couples participated in this study. Four cases carried DMD exon deletions and two carried exon duplications. Trophectoderm cells were biopsied at day 5 or 6 and NGS...
