PGT-A: what's it for, what's wrong?

J Assist Reprod Genet

January 2025

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt.

PGT-A, what's it for? Considering the increase in fetal aneuploidies with a woman's age and the high number of miscarriages associated with fetal karyotype anomalies, the concept of selecting IVF embryos based on their karyotype in order to transfer only euploid embryos and eliminate aneuploid ones was proposed. Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) was then established, nearly 30 years ago, with the expectation that the transfer of euploid embryos would lead to a significant improvement in medically assisted reproduction (MAR) outcomes. PGT-A, what's wrong? Despite the practice and widespread use, PGT-A has not consistently proven its effectiveness.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor and nonmotor symptoms, with a significant genetic component. Early-onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD), manifesting before age 45, is often linked to mutations in genes such as PARK2, PINK1, and PARK7, the latter coding for the protein DJ-1.

Objective: We present the first reported cases of EOPD carrying a previously undescribed homozygous PARK7 mutation, p.

Surveillance for variants escaping detection with the Aptima Combo 2 assay in Canada from 2019 to 2021.

Microbiol Spectr

January 2025

National Microbiology Laboratory Branch, Public Health Agency of Canada, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

Unlabelled: Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) are the method of choice for diagnosis, but these strategies are susceptible to target site mutations. variants escaping detection with the Aptima Combo 2 (AC2) assay on the Hologic Panther instrument from 23S rRNA mutations have been reported in Nordic countries, England, Japan, and the United States. Given the potential for false negative results, this study investigated whether strains of with AC2 target site mutations were present in Canada.
