Prevalence of pathogenic copy number variants among children conceived by donor oocyte

Abstract Development of assisted reproductive technologies to address infertility has favored the birth of many children in the last years. The majority of children born with these treatments are healthy, but some concerns remain on the safety of these medical procedures. We have retrospectively ana...
