Overview

Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) has three different testings according to the type of genetic disease, which was classified as PGT-M, PGT-SR and PGT-A. If the couple is tested for two different genetic diseases at the same time, it is necessary to customize the probe and adopt different detection methods, which increases the cost and cycle of testing. Advanced expert pre-experimental analysis is required for PGT-M in couples with monogenic disease. If the family members are unavailable, only the polar bodies, sperms or affected embryos can be used to analysis, which not only increases the risk of failure, but also increases the difficulty of detection. At present, BGI has developed a new single-tube complete Long fragment whole genome sequencing (stLFR-WGS) technology, which uses the same molecular tag on the short read sequencing fragments from the same long DNA molecule to achieve accurate short read sequencing to obtain long DNA information. Multiple genetic abnormalities such as gene variation, chromosome aneuploidy and chromosome structure rearrangement can be directly detected in embryos without pre-experiment of family members, so as to achieve universal normalization of the three PGT methods and solve the PGT detection needs of patients with multiple genetic diseases.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients undergoing PGT cycle;
  2. Patients with balanced chromosomal structural rearrangement (reciprocal translocation, Robertsonian translocation, inversion, etc.) by conventional karyotype analysis;
  3. Clearly diagnosed monogenic genetic disease, and the related genes and their mutations are judged to be pathogenic or likely pathogenic;
  4. Chromosomal abnormalities in recurrent abortion tissues or in PGT-A embryos; The number of blastocysts was >= 1, and the morphological classification was more than 4BC/4CB.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Belonged to any contraindications of PGT;
  2. Failed to embryo biopsy;
  3. Failed to embryo WGA failure or abnormal quality control;
  4. Failed to embryo sequencing, and the result was unknown.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
