Methods: A cross-sectional study using the existing databases of 2 university fertility centres in Canada. We included 345 cycles from 235 couples who underwent next-generation sequencing preimplantation genetic testing for the detection of aneuploidy in the study.
Background: The purpose of this study was to assess whether the outcomes from IVF-preimplantation genetic testing (IVF-PGT) cycles for single gene defects (SGD) (PGT-M) differ between a privately funded period (PRP) and publicly funded period (PUP).
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in a North-American single tertiary center. The PRP (March 1998 to July 2010) comprised 56 PGT-M cycles from 58 IVF cycles in 38 couples, and the PUP (August 2010 to May 2015) comprised 59 PGT-M cycles from 87 IVF cycles in 38 couples.

- Hydatidiform mole (HM) is a type of unusual pregnancy where there is abnormal growth of cells and problems with the baby developing.
- There are two main types of HM: complete and partial, and some patients have more than one kind happening in their pregnancies.
- The study found that women with HM have a higher chance of having miscarriages that are caused by chromosomal problems, especially if they are older or have certain types of HM, compared to women without HM.
