DF-PGT, now possible through massive sequencing techniques

(Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona) Researchers at the UAB, in collaboration with the Blood and Tissue Bank of Catalonia, have implemented an innovative and universal strategy, prepared for a simultaneous diagnosis of genetic mutations and chromosomal alterations within embryos obtained by in vitro fertilisation (IVF). It allows analysing up to 4,800 genes responsible for the most common hereditary diseases and speeds up the study process and the availability of the results of the family's single gene disorders.
