Carrier-specific breakpoint-spanning DNA probes: an approach to preimplantation genetic diagnosis in interphase cells
1 Sept 1997
Abstract excerpt
Carriers of chromosomal inversions or other balanced rearrangements represent a significant fraction of patients in in-vitro fertilization (IVF) programmes due to recurrent reproductive problems. In most cases, chromosomal imbalance in fertilized oocytes is incompatible with embryo survival leading to increased rates of spontaneous abortions. Assuming that a fraction of the germ cells is karyotypically normal,...
