Abstract:
Human assisted reproductive technology has brought hope to the growing infertility population, but also has increased the risk of birth defects and even adult disease incidence. Here we discussed the gametes, embryos and maternal factors which affect eugenics and assisted reproductive safety. With the help of the new genomics technology such as the next generation sequencing, we can greatly reduce the incidence of hereditary birth defects, and prevent and control embryonic developmental risk of adult diseases.
