Validation of the Accuracy of DNA Fingerprinting Using Polar Bodies and Embryonic Cells

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: DNA Fingerprinting

In brief

The purpose of this study is to validate the ability to assess the genetic differences (DNA fingerprinting) on polar bodies (excess genetic material given off from the egg) and cells so that this technique may be used in the future to confirm markers of reproductive competence and improve the efficiency and safety of clinical human in vitro fertilization.
