Transcriptomic behavior of genes associated with chromosome 21 aneuploidies in early embryo development.
To analyze how chromosome 21 (HSA21) ploidy affects global gene expression of early human blastocysts.Prospective study.University-affiliated in vitro fertilization clinic.A total of 26 high-quality donated embryos from in vitro fertilization (IVF) patients: trisomy 21 (n = 8), monosomy 21 (n = 10), and euploid (n = 8) blastocysts.None.Blastocyst transcriptome changes and its associated functions.Trisomy 21, monosomy 21, and euploid blastocysts were classified by comparative genomic hybridization. The global transcriptome of whole blastocysts was analyzed with small cell number RNA sequencing, and they were compared to understand the gene expression behavior at early development and its imp…
