CGH is a technique that involves amplifying the DNA and uses many thousands of probes to check all 23 chromosome pairs. As long as an intact nucleus is biopsied, it is virtually error-free, whereas with the older …

Now a study in the January 2010 edition of Fertility & Sterility shows that PGS does not significantly improve implantation, pregnancy or live birth rates. In this randomized control study from Belgium, the clinical implantation rate per embryo …
