    Localisation of the human blue cone pigment gene to chromosome band 7q31.3-32

    Blue cone pigment (BCP) is one of three types of cone photoreceptors responsible for normal colour vision. In this study, the BCP gene has been localised to chromosome 7q31.3-32 by fluorescent in situ hybridis...

    Analysis of implantation and ongoing pregnancy rates following the transfer of mosaic diploid–aneuploid blastocysts

    Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) is widely used in IVF and aims to improve outcomes by avoiding aneuploid embryo transfers. Chromosomal mosaicism is extremely common in early development ...
