Advancements and Challenges in Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies: In the Pathway to Non-Invasive Techniques.

The evolution of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) techniques has been crucial in assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs), improving embryo selection and increasing success rates in in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments. Techniques ranging from fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to next-generation sequencing (NGS) have relied on cellular material extraction through biopsies of blastomeres at the cleavage stage on day three or from trophectoderm (TE) cells of the blastocyst. However, this has raised concerns about its potential impact on embryo development.
