Abstract
Background: Preimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural rearrangements (PGT-SR) has been widely utilized to select euploid embryos in patients carrying balanced chromosomal rearrangements (BCRs) by chromosome copy number analysis. However, reliable and extensively validated PGT-SR methods for selecting embryos without BCRs in large-cohort studies are lacking.
Methods: In this prospective, multicenter, cohort study, carriers with BCRs undergoing PGT-SR were recruited across 12 academic fertility centers within China. PGT-SR was performed using genome-wide SNP genotyping and haplotyping approach. Parental haplotypes were phased by available genotypes from a close relative or an unbalanced embryo. The karyotypes of embryos were inferred from the haplotypes. Only a single embryo was transferred in each cycle.
Findings: Between April 2018 and March 2023, 1298 carriers we randomly enrolled. A total of 7867 blastocysts from 1603 PGT-SR cycles were biopsied, in which 7750 (98.51%) were successfully genotyped and analyzed. Overall, 75.98% (1218/1603) of cycles obtained euploid embryos and 53.15% (852/1603) generated non-carrier embryos. The proportion of carrier and non-carrier embryos was similar in different subgroups. A total of 1030 non-carrier and 439 carrier embryos were transferred, 817 healthy babies were delivered cumulatively. Our results demonstrate that SNP-haplotyping method is highly accurate (sensitivity 95% CI: 98.34%-100%, specificity 95% CI: 96.63%-100%, respectively), and can be applied universally to different BCR types. Moreover, the clinical outcomes were comparable between the carrier and non-carrier embryo groups.
Interpretation: This study demonstrates the effectiveness of preimplantation genetic genome-wide SNP-genotyping and haplotyping method, resulting in the delivery of more babies with a normal karyotype.

期刊介绍:
eBioMedicine is a comprehensive biomedical research journal that covers a wide range of studies that are relevant to human health. Our focus is on original research that explores the fundamental factors influencing human health and disease, including the discovery of new therapeutic targets and treatments, the identification of biomarkers and diagnostic tools, and the investigation and modification of disease pathways and mechanisms. We welcome studies from any biomedical discipline that contribute to our understanding of disease and aim to improve human health.
