Current Advances and Future Perspectives on Preimplantation Genetic Testing

Dear Colleagues,

Ever since the first report on children born after PGT by A. Handyside and colleagues in 1990, the field of PGT, at the crossroads of embryo genetics and assisted reproduction, has been characterized by rapid technological advances. Therefore, a timely update on the status and future perspectives is appropriate. In this Special Issue entitled 'Current Advances and Future Perspectives on Preimplantation Genetic Testing', we invite short communications, original research papers, and state-of-the-art reviews that contribute to the field of human embryo genetics and preimplantation genetic testing. Papers on any aspect of PGT clinical practice—PGT-M, PGT-SR, or PGT-A—are welcome, from patient referral to baby follow-up. Research areas may include but are not limited to:

• Preconception carrier screening;
• Embryo biopsy and cryopreservation;
• Single/few cell whole genome testing technologies;
• Non-invasive PGT;
• Chromosomal mosaicism;
• PGT-P;
• Gene editing in embryos.

We are looking forward to your submissions.

Prof. Dr. Martine De Rycke
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Genes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
