[ 1 ] - I-44: Mutagenesis during Embryogenesis

We developed several novel tools to genome wide screen for CNVs and SNPs in single cells. When applied to cleavage stage embryos from young fertile couples we discovered, unexpectedly, an extremely high incidence of chromosomal instability, a hallmark of tumorigenesis (Vanneste et al., Nature Medicine, 2009; Vanneste et al., Hum.Reprod., 2011). Not only mosaicisms for whole chromosome aneuploid...

[ 2 ] - I-45: FISH and Array CGH for PGD of Cancer

We developed several FISH approaches to enable preimplantation genetic diagnosis of cancer predisposition syndromes. An overview of the applications and the results of those PGDs will be provided. In addition we developed several novel tools to genome wide screen for CNVs and SNPs in single cells. Those technologies are now being applied for polar body, blastomere and blastocyst screening for c...
