Common IVF test misses genetic abnormalities in embryos
በAI የተዘገበ
A study reveals that preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy, a standard IVF procedure, cannot detect certain genetic changes that occur in embryos shortly before implantation. Researchers observed these abnormalities in real time using advanced microscopy on thawed human embryos. While the findings highlight limitations in embryo screening, their impact on pregnancy success remains unclear.
