Abstract

Chromosomal mosaicism is a common feature of early human embryos development. “Mosaic” embryos display very low rates of concordance between multiple trophectoderm biopsies and between multiple trophectoderm and inner cell mass biopsies using next-generation sequencing. The here presented data clearly demonstrate the limitations and shortages of the preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy screening test, which are not in alignment with WHO basic requirements.
