Background and Aims: In some couples, there was no normal chromosomal embryos after preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) for aneuploidy (PGT-A), for structural chromosomal rearrangements (PGT-SR) or for monogenic (PGT-M). The couples decided to use the abnormal embryos for transfer after thorough genetic counselling. This study reports the outcomes of transfer abnormally chromosomal embryos. Method: This retrospective study was conducted from January 2020 to December 2022 at IVFMD, My Duc Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The abnormally chromosomal embryos that were considered for transfer included aneuploidy related to [Formula: see text]3 chromosomes (except trisomy 13, 18, 21 and monosomy X); or mosaicism has [Formula: see text]50% of aneuploidy after PGT-A, PGT-SR or PGT-M (except mosaic trisomy 13, 18, 21 and monosomy X). Results: 94 patients transferred 94 single abnormally chromosomal embryos. Out of 94 embryos, 62 were mosaic and 32 were aneuploid. Among the group of mosaic embryos, 25 (40.3%) had segmental, 32 (51.6%) had 1 or 2 chromosomal abnormalities and 5 (8.1%) had 3 or more. Among the group of aneuploid embryos, 4 (12.5%) had segmental, 13 (40.6%) had 1 chomosomal abnormalities, 5 (15.6%) had 2 chomosomal abnormalities and 10 (31.3%) complexes (both mosaic and aneuploid chromosome). Among 20 live births, 2 cases have normal fetal karyotype, and 11 cases have normal CNVs blood results. Conclusion: Mosaic embryos can be considered for transfer in cases having no normal embryos after PGT. More than 50% of babies born from chromosomally abnormal embryo transfer have normal chromosomal results.
