Chromosome analysis increases IVF success

BioNews - Chromosome analysis increases IVF success: Aneuploidy is the biggest cause of miscarriage and is more likely to occur in the eggs of older women. The technique, known as array comparative genome hybridisation, allows scientists to detect chromosomal abnormalities that can be missed under the microscope. Scientists can then transfer the healthiest embryos, increasing the chance of a successful implantation.

Editor: So, what we have here is the God-like ability to know which embryos are more prone to miscarry, sparing the women one stressful IVF cycle.
