Abstract

To evaluate the efficacy of preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) for α- and β-double thalassemia combined with aneuploidy screening using next-generation sequencing (NGS). An NGS-based PGT protocol was performed between 2017 and 2018 for twelve couples, each of which carried both α- and β-thalassemia mutations. Trophectoderm biopsy samples underwent whole-genome amplification using multiple displacement amplification (MDA), followed by NGS for thalassemia detection and aneuploidy screening. A selection of several informative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) established haplotypes. Aneuploidy screening was performed only on unaffected noncarriers and carriers. Unaffected and euploid embryos were transferred into the uterus through frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET). A total of 280 oocytes were retrieved following 18 ovum pick-up (OPU) cycles, with 182 normally fertilized and 112 cultured to become blastocysts. One hundred and seven (95.5%, 107/112) blastocysts received conclusive PGT results, showing 56 (52.3%, 56/107) were unaffected. Thirty-seven (66.1%, 37/56) of the unaffected were also identified as euploid. One family had no transferable embryos. Unaffected and euploid embryos were then transferred into the uterus ...Continue Reading

CREs: Gene & Cell Therapy

Gene and cell therapy advances have shown promising outcomes for several diseases. The role of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) is crucial in the design of gene therapy vectors. Here is the latest research on CREs in gene and cell therapy.
