RESULTS: For 23 embryos diagnosed as aneuploid by initial TE biopsy, 78.3% of initial TE samples, 87.0% of TE re-biopsies and 78.3% of BCM samples were concordant with corresponding ICM samples (P>0.05); but for 3 mosaic embryos, the concordance rates with ICM of these three groups were 0%, 100% and 100% (P<0.05), respectively. With the corresponding ICM result as the true result, sensitivity of both niPGT-A and initial TE were 100%; but the FPR of initial TE was higher than that of niPGT-A (100% vs. 0, P¼0.100).CONCLUSIONS: NiPGT-A using spent BCM had similar diagnostic efficiency as TE-biopsy PGT-A. And in case of mosaic embryos, niPGT-A using BCM may be more reliable for predicting the karyotypes of ICM than initial TE biopsy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
