The Primed In Situ (PRINS) Technique: An Alternative Approach for Preimplantation Chromosomal Diagnosis

The Primed In Situ (PRINS) technique: an alternative approach for preimplantation chromosomal diagnosis

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a novel approach for the prevention of genetic disorders in couples at risk of having offspring with genetic disease. Although the original idea dates back to early 1960s when sexing of rabbit blastocysts was attempted, the first clinical application of PGD was reported about three decades later, describing the use of PCR for sexing embryos from couple...

I-20: Towards The Transparent Embryo: Dynamics and Ethics of Comprehensive Preimplantation Genetic Screening

Background: To study the ethical aspects of comprehensive preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) through microarrays and whole genome sequencing Materials and Methods: In order to pinpoint ethical issues regarding comprehensive embryo screening we have first investigated the technical and moral issues by organizing a campus meeting with experts and by a literature study. Subsequently we have i...

I-7: Maximizing Pregnancy Rates with The Use of Vitrification and Comprehensive Chromosome Screening

Background: Vitrification and warming of blastocysts is an established procedure for the preservation of embryos during IVF. Vitrification is so successful that it allows for elective single embryo transfer (eSET) to be performed routinely, since the frozen embryos will be available with high implantation potential if the fresh embryo fails. Comprehensive chromosome screening (CCS) is also a pr...
