Preimplantation genetic diagnosis in early pregnancy loss✰.

Miscarriage is a frequent outcome seen in obstetrics with 1 in 5 pregnancies ending in an early pregnancy loss. Aneuploidy is the most significant single factor affecting early pregnancy failure and miscarriage. The risk of aneuploidy increases significantly with increasing maternal age. There has been tremendous advancement in technology that has made preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy reliable and accessible. For women in their mid-to-late 30s there is great utility in the use of PGT-A to facilitate single embryo transfer, reduce the risk of clinical miscarriage and ongoing aneuploidy gestations. The current data supports use of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy and single embryo transfer for this population of women. At this time, more prospective data is needed to determine the effect of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy on rates of miscarriage in the recurrent pregnancy loss population.
