Case report: re-biopsy rescues a to-be-discarded segmental aneuploid embryo resulting in a healthy pregnancy with normal prenatal testing results.
This case report describes the strategy for reclassifying embryos initially diagnosed as segmental aneuploid through preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A), potentially rescuing those embryos for clinical use. A couple undergoing IVF, facing a lack of viable embryos, opted to re-biopsy a previously tested uniform (non-mosaic) segmental aneuploid embryo. The repeat PGT-A analysis produced a euploid result. Following thorough consultation with a genetic counselor and the treating physician, and after signing an informed consent detailing the associated risks, the couple proceeded with the embryo transfer. The pregnancy was confirmed, and prenatal testing by amniocentesis produced euploid results. This case highlights the potential of re-biopsy to more accurately assess embryos initially diagnosed as segmental aneuploid, helping to avoid the unnecessary discard of viable embryos while minimizing the clinical risks associated with constitutive segmental aneuploidies.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics publishes cellular, molecular, genetic, and epigenetic discoveries advancing our understanding of the biology and underlying mechanisms from gametogenesis to offspring health. Special emphasis is placed on the practice and evolution of assisted reproduction technologies (ARTs) with reference to the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting fertility. Our goal is to educate our readership in the translation of basic and clinical discoveries made from human or relevant animal models to the safe and efficacious practice of human ARTs. The scientific rigor and ethical standards embraced by the JARG editorial team ensures a broad international base of expertise guiding the marriage of contemporary clinical research paradigms with basic science discovery. JARG publishes original papers, minireviews, case reports, and opinion pieces often combined into special topic issues that will educate clinicians and scientists with interests in the mechanisms of human development that bear on the treatment of infertility and emerging innovations in human ARTs. The guiding principles of male and female reproductive health impacting pre- and post-conceptional viability and developmental potential are emphasized within the purview of human reproductive health in current and future generations of our species.
The journal is published in cooperation with the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, an organization of more than 8,000 physicians, researchers, nurses, technicians and other professionals dedicated to advancing knowledge and expertise in reproductive biology.
