%X Evidence suggests that the pericentric inversion of chromosome 9 (inv(9)) does not affect the aneuploidy rate (38.5%) after IVF. Herein, we report a successful live female twin birth through IVF/ICSI with a high aneuploidy rate from a couple within which the infertile father has inv(9)(p12q13). A couple (a 34-year-old male and a 35-year-old female) was referred to our clinic due to infertility. The wife has a child with her previous husband. Results from the infertility workup of both parents were normal. Karyotyping revealed that the inv(9)(p12q13) of the father was the only cytogenetic abnormality. Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A) after IVF/ICSI revealed a high aneuploidy rate (77%; 10/13). Two euploid blastocysts were transferred, resulting in a successful live female twin birth. The presented case highlights the possibility that inv(9)(p12q13) in males may impact the fertility and euploidy rate. PGT-A facilitates the selection of qualified blastocysts for the optimization of live-birth outcomes.
