The efficacy of preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) has been one of the most hotly disputed subjects in assisted reproduction over the past few years. None of the trials carried out so far has shown conclusively whether it works or not. Now scientists have decided to try to find out if a novel method of doing PGS using polar body biopsy and chromosome array analysis offers a possible solution.
The efficacy of preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) has been one of the most hotly disputed subjects in assisted reproduction over the past few years. None of the trials carried out so far has shown conclusively whether it works or not.
( European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology ) The ESHRE Task Force on PGS will attempt to settle the question "does pre-implantation genetic screening really work?" by carrying out a clinical trial of a new technique for screening polar bodies, tiny cells that are a by-product of egg development. The first phase will begin in September.
