Background: Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is the most common genetic cause of male infertility in humans. Mosaic KS is a subtype of KS. Due to its low prevalence, the lack of typical clinical signs, and the limited professional awareness of the syndrome, many cases of mosaic KS remain undiagnosed.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the impact of day-3 (D3) cleavage-stage embryo thawing with immediate transfer versus thawing and overnight culture before transfer on clinical outcomes. It also examines the relationship between cleavage-stage embryo developmental speed after overnight culture and clinical pregnancy outcomes, as well as factors influencing clinical pregnancy in frozen embryo transfer (FET).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1,040 patients who underwent D3 cleavage-stage frozen embryo transfer at Yulin City Maternal and Child Health Hospital between July 2022 and December 2023.
Rationale: This study investigates the genetic cause of primary infertility and short stature in a woman, focusing on maternal X chromosome pericentric inversion and its impact on offspring genetic outcomes, including deletions at Xp22.33 and Xp22.33p11.

Objective: To systematically evaluate the impact of the DuoStim protocol on pregnancy outcomes in infertile patients by comparing it with single and double conventional stimulation cycles.
Background: The complete absence of the azoospermia factor A (AZFa) region typically results in nonobstructive azoospermia. Partial deletions of the AZFa region are particularly noteworthy due to the limited and enigmatic reports of partial deletions in the AZFa region. Here, we present a rare case report of partial deletion of sY84 in the AZFa region but exhibiting normal sperm quality.

A retrospective analysis was conducted on 445 DOR patients who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) at the Reproductive Center of Yulin Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2019 to January 2023. A total of 1016 embryos were cultured for blastocyst formation, of which 487 were usable blastocysts and 529 did not form usable blastocysts.
