Noninvasive preimplantation genetic testing (ni-PGT) is conducted by obtaining genetic information from embryos through the analysis of free DNA released by embryos in spent embryo culture medium or blastocoel fluid. Compared to conventional preimplantation genetic testing relying on trophectoderm biopsy, ni-PGT is characterized by its noninvasiveness. It has demonstrated early advancements in the detection of embryonic chromosomal aneuploidies and the diagnosis of monogenic diseases, showcasing considerable potential for clinical application. However, there are substantial controversies in the literature concerning the reliability of ni-PGT, the source of cell-free DNA, and maternal contamination. This paper elaborates on the principles, research advancements, effectiveness, and limitations of ni-PGT to provide a basis for clinical applications.

The advancement of next-generation sequencing has spurred the growing adoption of whole-exome sequencing (WES) for genetic screening. Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disorders (PGT-M) can effectively prevent the transmission of pathogenic variants. However, interpreting vast data volumes and ensuring precise genetic counseling, especially with variants of uncertain significance (VUS), remains challenging.

Given the high morbidity, mortality, and hereditary risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), their prevention and control have garnered widespread attention and remain central to clinical research. This study aims to assess the feasibility and necessity of haplotyping-based preimplantation genetic testing for the prevention of inherited CVD. A total of 15 preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic defect (PGT-M) cycles were performed in 12 CVD families from January 2016 to July 2022.

This study aimed to develop and validate a predictive model for failure to collect oocytes in the Patient-Oriented Strategies Encompassing Individualized Oocyte Number (POSEIDON) Groups 3 and 4 during their first in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycle. A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients in POSEIDON Groups 3 and 4 who underwent their first IVF/ICSI cycle at our center from January 2016 to December 2023. A total of 2,373 patients were randomly assigned to the training or validation cohort at a ratio of 6:4.

Research Question: Is it possible to predict blastocyst quality, embryo chromosomal ploidy, and clinical pregnancy outcome after single embryo transfer from embryo developmental morphokinetic parameters?
Design: The morphokinetic parameters of 1011 blastocysts from 227 patients undergoing preimplantation genetic testing were examined. Correlations between the morphokinetic parameters and the quality of blastocysts, chromosomal ploidy, and clinical pregnancy outcomes following the transfer of single blastocysts were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: The morphokinetic parameters of embryos in the high-quality blastocyst group were significantly shorter than those in the low-quality blastocyst group (p < 0.

Introduction: This study investigated the impact of the carrier on transferable blastocyst rate and live birth outcomes in couples with structural chromosomal abnormalities.
Methods: Couples were grouped into reciprocal translocation, Robertsonian translocation, or inversions groups, and clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Preimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural rearrangements (PGT-SR) was conducted, and pregnancy outcomes were compared.
