try to find genomic DNA in culture medium after the embryos develop on Day 3 and Day 5 also in single step culture media. using direct PCR Polymerase Chain Reaction and also WGA Whole Genome Amplification before PCR and sequencing of the samples to find the point mutation
Name: Polymerase Chain Reaction and Whole Genome Amplification
Type: GeneticIn Vitro Fertilization treatment
Description: amplification of point mutation with PCR (polymerase chain reaction)
Measure: amplification of point mutation Time: 1 yearCohort
There is one SNP
Quantification will be made with a standard curve constructed with genomic DNA (with culture media -day 3 and day5-, to take into account media inhibitory effects) TSPY1 amplification will be use to assess the presence of Y chromosome WGA followed by PCR on a single copy gene (MTHFR gene) will be performed on a subset of some samples to monitor the C677T polymorphism (genotyping by sequencing) WGA followed by PCR on a single copy gene (MTHFR) will be also performed on blastocoele fluids --- C677T ---
