41 Paradigm shift Current: Classify embryos as normal or abnormal Error rate 2-10% False positives, False negatives occur New: Classify embryos as normal, mosaic or abnormal Minimal error rate Deprioritize mosaics

42 PGDIS, COGEN Recommendations (outdated?) Report <20% as normal and >80% as abnormal (resolution limit) High priority mosaics: those with <40% abnormal cells Low priority mosaics: chaotic mosaics or those with >40% abnormal cells Low priority mosaics: - with chromosomes X, Y, 13, 18, 21 (live born viability) - with chromosomes 14, 15 (risk of UPD) - with chromosomes 2, 7, 16 (intrauterine growth retardation) But there is no evidence that mosaics at blastocyst level have the same impact as mosaics in first trimester

43 Risk of embryonic mosaics producing fetal mosaics or full trisomies 2.1% of CVS are mosaic Grati et al (in press) data on n=72,472 CVS Risk of a trisomic baby from mosaic embryos is <1%: - 24/106 pregnancies miscarried (no data on aneuploid SABs) - 82/106 pregnancies were ongoing and 100% euploid (data from CooperGenomics + Genoma, unpublished) Is Mosaicism at blastocyst stage and fetal mosaicism caused by different mechanisms? - Bolton et al: implantation of mice mosaic blastocysts depends on abnormal cell load - Munne et al: human embryos with higher abnormal cell load perform worse - Weier et al: confined placental mosaicism arises in the placenta and not the embryo

44 hr-ngs mosaics: Summary NGS detects mosaicism better than other methods 21% of blastocysts are mosaics Mosaics miscarry more (only 4% euploid by hr-ngs miscarry) Mosaics implant less than euploid embryos (specially complex mosaics) 40% of mosaics can result in an ongoing pregnancy compared to 50-70% euploid Recommended: Transfer euploid first followed by mosaics do Prenatal diagnosis (Amnio) for mosaic transfers
