NCT02915276

Brief Summary

For the purpose of this study, the investigators will perform the removal of trophectoderm (TE) the cells as required for the purpose of pre-implantation genetic screening, in order to perform the genetic analysis. Additionally, the investigators will remove the blastocoelic fluid (BF) and perform additional genetic analysis on the embryo in order to determine the agreement of the genetics results between TE cells and BF.
