Euploid

An embryo with the expected number of chromosomes.

Genetics

A euploid result means the biopsied cells had 46 chromosomes in the usual arrangement. Euploid embryos have a higher chance of implanting, but not a guarantee — around a third of transfers of euploid blastocysts still do not result in a live birth.

Also known as: normal embryo, chromosomally normal
