Abstract

Significance: In in vitro fertilization (IVF), current methods of diagnosing chromosome abnormality and screening for viability of transfer require biopsy of embryos, which affects embryo quality, awaits long-term biosafety test, and requires specialized skills. We demonstrate the principle of noninvasive chromosome screening (NICS), which is based on sequencing the genomic DNA secreted into the culture medium from the embryo, avoiding the need for embryo biopsy and substantially increasing the safety. By characterizing its precision and demonstrating successful live births, we validate that NICS offers the potential of significantly improving the clinical outcome of IVF.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
