Abstract
Here, we present the successful application of two different preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic diseases (PGT-M) methods for a couple facing the genetic risk of Achondroplasia (ACH). The first preimplantation genetic haplotyping (PGH) cycle was based on short tandem repeats (STRs) and 8 STRs were chosen. The multiple displacement amplification (MDA) products were analyzed using the informative STR loci and PCR-restriction enzyme digestion of FGFR3. A healthy girl was delivered. Two years later, we performed the second PGT-M cycle for this couple with a newly established PGT-M platform based on next generation sequencing (NGS). Haplotype analysis was established by a selection of several informative single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) was also performed on embryos with normal FGFR3 genotype. Another healthy girl was born. PGH system could be established using STRs or NGS-SNP systems. The NGS-SNP system could detect more sites and simultaneously performs PGT-A with an automated operation.
