INCREASED CONCORDANCE RATES BETWEEN EMBRYO CELL-FREE DNA AND TROPHECTODERM BIOPSIES ARE RELATED TO FEMALE AGE INDEPENDENTLY OF CULTURE CONDITIONS

Multicenter prospective study of concordance between embryonic cell-free DNA and trophectoderm biopsies from 1301 human blastocysts
2020
Background The recent identification of embryonic cell-free DNA in spent blastocyst media has opened a new era of possibilities for noninvasive embryo aneuploidy testing in assisted reproductive technologies. Yet, previous studies assessing a limited number of embryos reported variable concordance between embryonic cell-free DNA and trophectoderm biopsies, thus questioning the validity of this approach. Objective This study aimed to evaluate the concordance and reproducibility of testing embryonic cell-free DNA vs trophectoderm DNA obtained from the same embryo in a large sample of human blastocysts and to assess the contribution of the inner cell mass and trophectoderm to embryonic cell-fr…
