Mitochondrial DNA quantity as a biomarker for blastocyst implantation potential by Wells, D

“…Mounting evidence supports the hypothesis that blastocysts having unusually high levels of mitochondrial DNA detected in the trophectoderm have greatly reduced implantation potential, but there remain significant areas where further validation is necessary and where our understanding is currently inadequate. …”

Is Cleavage Stage Multinucleation Indicative of Lower Pregnancy Potential in Euploid Blastocysts? by Rebecca L. KELLEY, Fleur CATTRALL, Sharyn STOCK-MYER, Lisa Y. S. LEE, David K. GARDNER

“…Background: Cleavage stage multinucleation is a morphological assessment IVF labs may use to rank embryos for transfer, as blastocysts that were multinucleated at the 2-cell or 4-cell stage have a lower live birth rate (LBR) compared to blastocysts that were mononucleated1. …”
