  • METHODS OF DETERMINING HUMAN EGG COMPETENCY
    Publication number: 20090163764
    Abstract: The inventors have discovered inter alia, that when the chromosome complement of a first polar body (PB-I) is normal, it alone is in more than 80% of cases sufficient to predict that an embryo which has developed from an oocyte associated with the PB-I is also normal and competent. As such, the invention relates to methods of identifying competent oocytes and embryos suitable for use during in vitro fertilization.
