Orv Hetil. 2016 Dec;157(51):2048-2050 Authors: Nánássy L, Téglás G, Csenki M, Vereczkey A Abstract Preimplantation genetic diagnosis for single gene defects is a well established method in assisted reproductive technologies. Karyomapping is a genome wide parental haplotyping using a high density single nucleotide polymorphism array that allows the diagnosis of any single gene defects. A couple with an affected child with primary congenital glaucoma attended at our clinic. Six oocyte-cumulus-complex was retrieved and all three mature oocytes were inseminated. One zygote showed the signs of normal fertilization and was cultured for five days. Trophectoderm biopsy and karyomapping analysis were carried out. Result showed a heterozygous carrier for primary congenital glaucoma. Embryo was thawed and transferred and a healthy girl was delivered at term. Here we report the first live birth following in vitro fertilization combined with preimplantation genetic diagnosis using karyomapping in Hungary. Karyomapping is able to accurately detect single gene disorders from a limited amount of samples without a significant preclinical workup. Orv. Hetil., 2016, 157(51), 2048-2050.
