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

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 …
