Clinical benefits of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) for all in vitro fertilization treatment cycles

2019 
Abstract The clinical application of a PGT-A program implementing single euploid embryo transfer is evaluated over a 6.5 year period, beginning with its early validation phases. Euploidy embryo status is inversely correlated to oocyte source age and positively correlated to blastocyst quality grades. However, once a single euploid embryo is transferred, high levels of implantation and live birth success are attained independent of patient age and embryo quality, with only AA blastocysts exhibiting improved implantation. Factors influencing successful outcomes are discussed, including the management of mosaic NGS profiles. Overall, distinct advantages to a dedicated PGT-A/single euploid embryo transfer program are clearly evident in per cycle start comparisons to control cycles and national average statistics by age groups.
