Novel genetic test improves pregnancy rates in older women

The new test, developed by Dr. Elpida Fragouli, examining chromosomes in human eggs a few hours after fertilisation can identify those that are capable of forming a healthy baby.

The findings were presented at 25th annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology.
