Current quantitative methodologies for preimplantation genetic testing frequently misclassify meiotic aneuploidies as mosaic

This study presents the first direct evidence that a third of embryos reported as mosaic (both low- and high-level mosaic) by NGS-based PGT-A contain meiotic errors, highlighting the potential misclassification of aneuploid embryos as mosaic by current NGS-based PGT-A methods that cannot accurately distinguishing between meiotic and mitotic errors. Single-nucleotide polymorphism genotyping provides essential information for accurately determining the origin of chromosomal abnormalities and should be integrated with NGS-based copy number analysis to enhance diagnostic accuracy. Further studies are needed to refine mosaicism classification and to better understand its true implications in in vitro fertilization treatment.

Abstract

This study presents the first direct evidence that a third of embryos reported as mosaic (both low- and high-level mosaic) by NGS-based PGT-A contain meiotic errors, highlighting the potential misclassification of aneuploid embryos as mosaic by current NGS-based PGT-A methods that cannot accurately distinguishing between meiotic and mitotic errors. Single-nucleotide polymorphism genotyping provides essential information for accurately determining the origin of chromosomal abnormalities and should be integrated with NGS-based copy number analysis to enhance diagnostic accuracy. Further studies are needed to refine mosaicism classification and to better understand its true implications in in vitro fertilization treatment.
