About our service
The test is performed using approximately 5-10 cells obtained from a biopsy of the trophic ectoderm (TE) of a blastocyst on thet fifth day afterfertilization.
The whole genome of the cell-derived human DNA is amplified and the increase or decrease in chromosome number is examined based on diploid/euploid chromosomes, which have two copies each.
Depending on the specimen, mosaic aneuploidymay be detectedMosaic aneuploidy is a condition in which cells without chromosomal aneuploidy and cells with chromosomal aneuploidy are mixed in the analyzed fetal tissues. Mosaic aneuploidy may disappear as the fetus develops, but there is a risk that it may cause infertility, repeated implantation failure, or the birth of a child with birth defects, mental retardation or developmental disabilities.
Features
・Specimens are transported by a specialized specimen transport company.
・Includes multiplicity analysis as the standard.
・KAT-Score, a comprehensive evaluation of the degree of mosaicism, is indicated.
・Notation of the embryo score, which is a combination of two evaluations; PGT-A results and the embryo grade

Report of test results
We will perform DNA analysis and secondary data analysis using a next-generation sequencer at our laboratory, and return the test result report to you.
The report will be sent to you within 10 business days from the date we receive your specimen. (Excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays)
Please note that the delivery date may be delayed depending on the progress of the Japanese Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology's Committee for Evaluation of Analysis Results. Please be aware of this in advance.
About the biopsy technique validation analysis
Service Overview
By amplifying the DNA of embryo biopsies and tubed specimens, we can objectively assess the success rate of embryo biopsies.
Features
・Biopsy techniques can be confirmed using to-be discarded embryos or mouse embryos.
・Price is reasonable as a next generation sequencer is not used for genome analysis.

03
Sample Shipping
Please ship 5-10 cell biopsy samples that are frozen to our laboratory.

04
DNA extraction and confirmation
The entire genome of the specimen is amplified by PCR, and the presence or absence of DNA is confirmed by measuring the DNA concentration along with electrophoresis.
