Table 2 Number and percentage (%) of euploid and aneuploid blastocysts. Blastocysts were classified according to clinical indication for preimplantational genetic test for aneuploidies (PGT-A) and by genetic categories: euploids, whole-chromosome aneuploids and segmental aneuploids (with or without whole-chromosome aneuploidy associated). Data from blastocysts presenting only one segmental aneuploidy (without any additional whole-chromosome gain/loss) were classified as single segmental aneuploid (SSA)
