Abstrakt: Intrachromosomal insertions are rare and difficult to diagnose. However, making the correct diagnosis is critical for genetic risk assessment, and prenatal and preimplantation genetic diagnosis outcomes. We present a case of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) using array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) following trophectoderm biopsy of embryos created after in vitro fertilization for a carrier of an intrachromosomal insertion on chromosome 1 [46,XX, ins(1)(q44q23q32.1)]. The PGD analysis of 6 blastocysts demonstrated 67% unbalanced embryos. No pregnancy was achieved after the transfer of 2 euploid embryos. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of PGD using aCGH following trophectoderm biopsy for a carrier of an intrachromosomal insertion.
