Chromosome imbalance (aneuploidy) is the major cause of pregnancy loss and congenital disorders in humans. Analyses of small biopsies from human embryos suggest that aneuploidy commonly originates during early divisions, resulting in mosaicism. However, the developmental potential of mosaic embryos remains unclear.

This article summarises and contextualises the accumulated basic and clinical data on the ERA test and addresses specific comments and opinions presented by the opponent as part of an invited debate. Progress in medicine depends on new technologies and concepts that translate to practice to solve long-standing problems. In a key example, combining RNA sequencing data (transcriptomics) with artificial intelligence (AI) led to a clinical revolution in personalising disease diagnosis and fostered the concept of precision medicine.

Article Synopsis
  • This study examined the chromosomal health of embryos from couples using assisted reproduction techniques (ART) and preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A), finding that a high percentage had chromosomal abnormalities.
  • Among embryos from couples using their own eggs and sperm, 67.1% were chromosomally abnormal, whereas 54.5% of embryos from couples using donated gametes were abnormal.
  • The research revealed no significant link between embryo quality, genetic status, or maternal age in relation to aneuploidy rates.

Background: Infertility is a natural mechanism of selection intended to prevent the delivery of a child with malformations or mental retardation. Male infertility is closely related to chromosomal abnormalities. This study was focused on the analysis of meiotic segregation involving a Robertsonian translocation, 45,XY,der(13;13) [56]/45,XY,der(13;14) [44] and the evaluation of possible interchromosomal effects.

The aim of this work is to analyze, using the comparative genomic hybridization technique, the frequencies and the mechanisms involved in the production of aneuploidy events in donor oocytes. The results showed that 32.1% of them were aneuploid, with 51.
