ASRM Today – Document Review: Clinical management of mosaic results from preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) of blastocysts: a committee opinion with Emily Mounts
"One of the biggest challenges that PGT (preimplantation genetic testing) has presented to the field of IVF is this phenomenon of mosaic results - these results that neither clearly normal nor clearly abnormal but somewhere in between." - Emily Mounts, MS, CGC
Mosaicism is very challenging topic and there are many unknowns that clinicians deal with regularly. ASRM Today speaks with Emily Mounts who is the Director of Genomic Services and a genetic counselor with ORM Fertility in Oregon, about the recent ASRM Practice Committee Opinion on "Clinical management of mosaic results from preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) of blastocysts".
Emily Mounts is a board-certified genetic counselor at ORM Fertility. She has been practicing in prenatal and reproductive genetics for over 20 years and is the Immediate Past Chair of the ASRM Genetic Counseling Professional Group. She is one of the primary authors of the forthcoming ASRM Committee Opinion publication, Clinical management of mosaic results from preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) of blastocysts.

ASRM Today - News and Publications: Interview with Richard Paulson on Publication of the First Issue of F&S Reports
"So the question is, why do we need to dilute the submissions by sending some of them to another journal? But in reality over the past few years the acceptance rate at Fertility and Sterility has dropped so much that there's really lots and lots of very good science that has to go elsewhere." - Richard J. Paulson, M.D., M.S.
It has been seventy years since the publication of the first issue of the medical journal Fertility and Sterility and the publishing landscape continues to evolve towards more open access journals. Our guest on the show today is Dr. Rick Paulson, and we sat down to talk about the new open access journal F&S Reports.
