BACKGROUND/AIM: To determine the incidence of X chromosome mosaicism in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment and present preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) outcome of this group. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 1,058 women undergoing IVF and 154 women with no fertility problems were enrolled in the study. Karyotyping from peripheral blood lymphocytes was performed by conventional cytogenetics. Twenty-nine women with X mosaicism underwent PGT-A by array-comparative genomic hybridization from embryos at the blastocyst stage. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Out of 1,058 women undergoing IVF, 166 (15.7%) had an abnormal karyotype. The most common finding (14.6%) was X chromosome mosaicism. Its frequency was higher in women >35 years old and reached 46.1% in those >45 years of age. PGT-A results of 130 blastocysts tested showed that 29/117 (24.8%) were euploid; 17/29 (60%) were transferred and 10/17 (70%) were successfully implanted, indicating that PGT-A may be an option for women with low-level X chromosome mosaicism undergoing IVF in order to improve the likelihood of a successful pregnancy outcome.
