    STUDY QUESTION: What are the aneuploidy rates and incidence of mosaicism in good-quality human preimplantation embryos. SUMMARY ANSWER: High-level mosaicism and structural aberrations are not restricted to arrested or poorly developing embryos but are also common in good-quality IVF embryos. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Humans, compared with other mammals, have a poor fertility rate, and even IVF treatments have a relatively low success rate. It is known that human gametes and early preimplantation embryos carry chromosomal abnormalities that are thought to lower their developmental potential. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE AND DURATION: The embryos studied came from nine young (age
