Abstract

Objective: To describe the reproductive and obstetric outcomes of an intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycle with preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy in an advanced reproductive-age woman with high-grade mosaic Turner syndrome.

Methods: Case report of a 39-year-old woman diagnosed with mosaic Turner Syndrome 45,X[90]/46,XX[10] karyotype who underwent in vitro fertilization treatment with blastocyst trophectoderm biopsy for preimplantation genetic testing using next-generation sequencing.

Result(s): Two of the four blastocysts biopsied were euploid. The patient achieved ongoing pregnancy after the first single euploid frozen embryo transfer, followed by the birth of a healthy child.

Conclusion: Autologous intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles can be considered in a select group of advanced reproductive-age women diagnosed with high-grade mosaic Turner syndrome.

Keywords: Intracytoplasmic sperm injections; Turner syndrome; chromosome aberrations; fertility preservation; preimplantation diagnosis.
