The use of blastocyst culture to avoid inheritance of an abnormal paternal genome after ICSI
Assisted Conception Unit, Birmingham Women's Hospital and Reproductive Biology and Genetics Group, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham B15 2TG, UK
The development of suitable defined sequential culture media methods that can reliably lead to high rates of blastocyst development in human in-vitro fertilization (IVF) (Gardner et al., 1998a) has brought about the dilemma of when to apply this technique. As with many new IVF techniques, a choice must be made by many reproductive units of whether or not to adopt a new technology without compromising the ultimate goal of achieving pregnancies for couples.
Gardner et al. (1998a,b) have stated that one
