The importance of standardizing criteria for PGT-A interpretation of blastocysts analyzed by next-generation sequencing.

Objective: To compare the preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) results using the three most frequent criteria employed by preimplantation genetic laboratories and evaluate its impact on the number of euploid embryos available for transfer.

Methods: Retrospective and descriptive study including patients who underwent PGT-A between January 2018 and December 2020. Five hundred and nine PGT-A cycles and 2,079 blastocysts were analyzed by next-generation sequencing (NGS).

Combined Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy and Monogenic Disease in a Mexican Family Affected by X-linked Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia.

Background: Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is a genetic skin condition presenting as hypohidrosis, hypodontia, and hypotrichosis, resulting in an important burden for affected families. The most common form of HED has an X-linked inheritance and female carriers have the option of prenatal or preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) to avoid transmission of the disease. A combined PGT for a mutation in EDA gene and aneuploidies in a Mexican carrier of X-linked HED is reported.

A human reproductive approach to the study of infertility in chimpanzees: An experience at Leon's Zoological Park, Mexico.

Great apes are mammals close to humans in their genetic, behavioral, social and evolutionary characteristics and new genomic information is revolutionizing our understanding of evolution in primates. However, all these species are endangered. While there are many global programs to protect these species, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) projects that in a near future the wild populations will decrease significantly.

Birth after human chorionic gonadotropin-primed oocyte maturation and fertilization with testicular sperm in a normo-ovulatory patient.

In this report, we present a case of maturation (IVM) with surgical retrieved testicular sperm in a normo-ovulatory female. Human chorionic gonadotropin-primed IVM, testicular biopsy for sperm retrieval and intracytoplasmic sperm injection with fresh sperm were performed. Fourteen cumulus-oocyte complexes were obtained in germinal vesicle or metaphase I stage, eight oocytes reached metaphase II, seven presumptive zygotes were obtained, and three cleavage stages embryos in day 2 were transferred producing a singleton pregnancy.

Genetic screening in infertile Mexican men: chromosomal abnormalities, Y chromosome deletions, and androgen receptor CAG repeat length.

In our study, we analyzed chromosomal abnormalities, Y chromosome deletions, androgen receptor CAG repeat length and their association with defective spermatogenesis in infertile Mexican men. Eighty-two infertile patients and 40 controls were screened for karyotypic abnormalities, Y chromosome microdeletions, and CAG repeats. Nine infertile males (11%) carried chromosomal abnormalities and 10 (12.
