Analysis of the whole process of three-generation IVF technology: a reproductive revolution in the era of precision medicine
Three-generation IVF (PGT, pre-implantation genetic testing) technology has increased the pregnancy success rate to 72% (natural pregnancy rate is about 30%) and the blockage rate of genetic diseases to 99.9%. This article systematically reveals the scientific logic of this life project from four dimensions: technical principle, process innovation, quality control standards and prognosis management. I. Core principles of PGT technology and screening of indications PGT-A (aneuploidy screening): NGS technology detects 23 pairs of chromosomes and reduces the miscarriage rate (from 40% to 15%).PGT-M (single gene disease detection): SNP chain analysis + mutation locus verification, can diagnose cystic fibrosis, thalassemia and other 7000 + single gene diseasesPGT-SR (structural abnormality screening): whole genome microarray to identify balanced translocations (resolution up to 5Mb)…
