In the last 30 years, genetic testing techniques have been developed to identify chromosomally normal embryos in vitro, thereby potentially increasing the proportion of successful cycles with elective single-embryo transfer, and minimizing twin-pregnancy complications and miscarriages. This testing is termed "pre-implantation genetic screening" (PGS), in contrast to preimplantation genetic diag...

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) involves testing for specific genetic conditions prior to the implantation [5] of an embryo in the uterine wall. This form of genetic screening has been made possible by the growth of in-vitro fertilization [6] (IVF) technology, which allows for the early stages of development to occur in a laboratory dish rather than in vivo [7]. The purpose of PGD is to...

It has been more than ten years since the first Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) matching for Fanconi anemia was reported, allowing successful haemopoietic reconstitution in affected sibling by transplantation of stem cells obtained from HLA-matched offspring (Verlinsky et al., 2000; Verlinsky et al., 2001). Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) in combination with HLA matching is being used to ...

Abstract Aims Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a serious complication of total arthroplasty. We performed retrospective cohort study to evaluate (1) the change coagulation profile in two-staged arthroplasty patients and (2) relationship between outcomes reimplantation. Method Between January 2011 December 2018, 202 PJI who were operated on with included this initially. This continued for...

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) represents an alternative to prenatal diagnosis and allows selection of unaffected IVF embryos for establishing pregnancies in couples at risk for transmitting a genetic disorder.

Background: Origin of midlife copy number variations (CNVs) between tissues in non-genetic diseases is unknown. Such genomic differences caused by post-zygotic events. They might either happen during the life or due to prevalent mosaicism in preimplantation stage. We aim to explore fetal mosaicism and its origins. Materials and Methods: Two apparently normal fetuses were achieved following the ...

Glucose has been recognized as an energy source for a long time, but it has recently been suggested that the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (HBP) and downstream protein O-GlcNAcylation have important functions in mouse preimplantation development. Thus, whether or not O-GlcNAcylation was present and what functions O-GlcNAcylation has in pig preimplantation development were investigated in the ...
