Double Factor Preimplantation Genetic Testing Now Possible Through Massive Sequencing Techniques

Caption

The new massive sequencing platform permits scientists to identify alterations in the structure or number of chromosomes of the embryonic cells related to over 4,800 genes. The results of the experiments conducted in the study (CNV-NGS) were later confirmed with other genomic hybridation preimplantational diagnosis techniques (mCGH and aCGH), previously developed by the research team led by UAB's researcher Joaquima Navarro.
