SJOERD REPPING, University of Amsterdam
Genetic screening of embryos before implantation for in-vitro fertilisation caused a big reduction in the number of live births as compared with no screening, contrary to expectations. That’s the finding of a study announced at the fertility conference in Lyon and simultaneously published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Sjoerd Repping of the investigating team from the University of Amsterdam discussed the study findings and its clinical implications with Peter Goodwin.
