Embryos with abnormal cells may be common and result in IVF success
Errors in the genetic material of embryonic cells following IVF are more common and less damaging in normal human development than previously thought...
An abnormal number of chromosomes, either too few or too many. Nearly all human body cells usually have a set of 46 chromosomes, while egg and sperm cells have 23.
