Embryo Genetics

Advances in embryo and reproductive genetics have influenced clinical approaches to overcome infertility. Since the 1990s, many attempts have been made to decipher the genetic causes of infertility and to understand the role of chromosome aneuploidies in embryo potential. At the embryo stage, preimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal abnormalities and genetic disorders has offered many couples the opportunity to have healthy offspring. Recently, the application of new technologies has resulted in more comprehensive and accurate diagnoses of chromosomal abnormalities and genetic conditions to improve clinical outcome. In this Special Issue, we include a collection of reviews and original articles covering many aspects of embryo diagnosis, genome editing, and maternal-embryo cross-communication during the implantation process.
