Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: PGD cycles for monogenic diseases, sexing or screening in which one or two cells can be removed from the embryos.
Exclusion criteria: PGD where two cells must be removed for accurate diagnosis: monogenic cycles where PCR for one locus is carried out, or PGD for translocation carriers.

Age minimum:
Age maximum:
Gender:
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), Blastomere biopsy

Intervention(s)
Embryos were obtained from patients undergoing PGD. One or two cells were removed from embryos with more than 6 cells at day 3. Embryos shown to be free of disease were replaced in the uterus. Some surplus embryos were re-analysed to measure accuracy.
Primary Outcome(s)
1. Embryo transfer rate;

2. Positive hCG;

3. Implantation rate;

4. Live birth rate.
Secondary Outcome(s)
1. In-vitro embryonic development after the removal of one or two blastomeres;

2. The diagnostic efficiency of both PCR- and FISH techniques for PGD.
Secondary ID(s)
