First live birth in Greece after blastocyst trophectoderm biopsy and preimplantation genetic testing for Holt-Oram Syndrome

Konstantinos A. Economou, Chrysanthi Bili, Lina Florentin, Fotios Thymis, Dimitrios Papanicolaou

Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic/single-gene defects (PGT-M) is a well established tool in assisted reproduction. A couple, where the male was a carrier of the c.709C>T (p.Arg237Trp) pathogenic variant (autosomal dominant) of the exon 7 of TBX5 gene causing Holt-Oram syndrome (HOS) attended our clinic for PGT-M. The father and their first baby boy …

First live birth in Greece after blastocyst trophectoderm biopsy and preimplantation genetic testing for hereditary angioedema

Konstantinos A. Economou, Chrysanthi Billi, Lina Florentin, Anastasios Pachydakis, Ioannis Sintoris, Minas Mastrominas

Preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic/single-gene defects (PGT-M) is a well established tool in assisted reproduction. A couple, where the male was carrier of the c.550G>A (p.Gly184Arg) mutation of the SERPING 1 gene causing hereditary angioedema (HAE) attended our clinic for PGT-M. Employing a strategy of preserving embryos after blastocyst trophectoderm biopsy by vitrification cryopreservation …

First live birth in Greece after blastocyst trophectoderm biopsy and preimplantation genetic diagnosis by karyomapping

Economou A.K , Wells D, Christopikou D, Tsorva E, Davies S, Mastrominas M

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis for single gene defects is a well established tool in assisted reproduction. Karyomapping is a genome-wide parental haplotyping technology using a high density single nucleotide polymorphism array that allows the diagnosis of any single gene defects and the majority of aneuploidies from the same embryonic sample post embryo biopsy. A couple, carriers of different cystic fibrosis (CF) mutations …
