Using low-coverage, whole-genome sequences of trophectoderm biopsies from 11,610 human blastocyst-stage embryos, we analyzed the relationship between chromosomal abnormalities and mitochondrial (mt) DNA dynamics. Comparing 6,208 aneuploid and 5,402 euploid embryos in cohort studies, we found that mtDNA content in aneuploid embryos was significantly higher than that in euploid embryos. This outcome was confirmed through intrafamilial analyses of embryos with matched parents and in vitro fertilization cycles, and it occurred independent of maternal age. Additional human population-based studies uncovered a higher abundance of ultra-rare mtDNA variants located in never-altered positions in the human population in aneuploid compared to euploid embryos in both cohort- and family-based analyses. This maternal age-independent association of increased mtDNA content and aneuploidy in human embryos may reflect a novel mechanism of purifying selection against potentially deleterious mtDNA variants, which arise from germline or early developmental mtDNA damaging events, that occurs in human embryos prior to implantation.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
