Study questionShould we consider embryo quality as one of the most important criteria to follow when transferring a mosaic embryo?Summary answerEmbryo quality is an implantation biomarker both for euploid and mosaic embryos, and also a determinant for selecting the most eligible mosaic for transfer.What is known alreadySeveral studies show the benefit of transferring mosaic embryos when there are no euploid embryos to transfer, and they still result in ongoing pregnancies and what is more important is that they result in healthy babies.Studies and guidelines suggest prioritizing mosaic embryos based on maternal age, chromosomes impacted, percentage of aneuploidy, number of chromosomes involved, type of mosaic (simple vs complex, segmental vs complete, monosomy vs trisomy) but embryo quality is never part of these criteria.Studies claim that mosaic implantation rate is lower than euploid …
