In Switzerland preimplantation genetic diagnosis is limited by law to polar body biopsy (PBB). The indications for PBB include unexplained recurrent miscarriage and improvement of the outcome of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycles in women at an advanced reproductive age. In this article we report the first birth of a healthy child after polar body biopsy in Switzerland in a case of unexplained miscarriage after IVF.
