What next for preimplantation genetic screening? Beyond aneuploidy.
Many published papers suggest a favourable impact of preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) on implantation and pregnancy rates, but more recent randomized studies have not confirmed, or could not conclude, that PGS actually improved implantation rates. Team inexperience in embryo screening has been mentioned as the origin of the discrepancies; thus some clinicians allege a need for more power...
متن کاملWhat next for preimplantation genetic screening? Randomized clinical trial in assessing PGS: necessary but not sufficient.
The randomized clinical trial (RCT) is a powerful experimental design that when properly executed produces generalizable results. Conducting a RCT becomes complex when technical skills are required. Without requisite skills, a RCT may yield misleading results, an elegant RCT unwittingly generating spurious results due to technical inexperience. This pitfall is applicable to procedures used to e...
متن کاملPreimplantation Genetic Screening: A Practical Guide
The past several decades have seen tremendous advances in the field of medical genetics. The application of genetic technologies to the field of reproductive medicine has ushered in a new era of medicine that is likely to greatly expand in the coming years. Concurrent with an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle, it is now possible to obtain a cellular biopsy from a developing embryo and genetica...
متن کاملWhat next for preimplantation genetic screening? A polar body approach!
Screening of human preimplantation embryos for numerical chromosome abnormalities has been conducted mostly at the preimplantation stage using fluorescence in situ hybridization. However, it is clear that preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) as it is currently practiced does not improve live birth rates. Therefore the ESHRE PGS Task Force has decided to start a proof of principle study with ...
متن کاملI-20: Towards The Transparent Embryo: Dynamics and Ethics of Comprehensive Preimplantation Genetic Screening
Background: To study the ethical aspects of comprehensive preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) through microarrays and whole genome sequencing Materials and Methods: In order to pinpoint ethical issues regarding comprehensive embryo screening we have first investigated the technical and moral issues by organizing a campus meeting with experts and by a literature study. Subsequently we have i...
متن کاملWhat next for preimplantation genetic screening? High mitotic chromosome instability rate provides the biological basis for the low success rate
Preimplantation genetic screening is being scrutinized, as recent randomized clinical trials failed to observe the expected significant increase in live birth rates following fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)-based screening. Although these randomized clinical trials are criticized on their design, skills or premature stop, it is generally believed that well-designed and well-executed r...
