Researchers have developed the first genetic blood test for predicting the chances that in vitro fertilization will lead to a successful pregnancy. The test is based on the finding that different ...

Purpose: To examine the data from over 119,000 Fragile X Syndrome tests and 307 prenatal tests to detect unsuspected findings and obtain clinical data when indicated to optimize genetic counseling.
