The relationship between the survival of the human preimplantation embryo in vitro and chromosomal abnormality was investigated by cytogenetic analysis of a total of 250 embryos of varying morphology between the pronucleate stage and the 8-cell stage. The overall incidence of chromosomal abnormality among these embryos was 49%. At the pronucleate stage (n = 46) the incidence was 65.2%, at the 2-4-cell stage (n = 126) it was 54.6%, and at the 5-8-cell stage (n = 78) it was 27.4%. Cleavage-stage… CONTINUE READING
