Introduction: nongenetic markers of oocyte and embryo competence

Abstract

The authors of this Views and Reviews have outlined the complexities of oocyte and embryo development and candidates for markers of embryo competence. Time-lapse monitoring of embryo development allows hierarchical selection of embryos for day 3 transfer. However, for normal-prognosis patients, extended embryo culture and comprehensive chromosome screening currently stand as the ultimate tools for the selection of embryos capable of a viable, normal delivery.
