Given potential for survival of handicapped individuals with autosomal monosomy for chromosomes 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, and 22, low priority should be given to transfer of embryos apparently monosomic for these chromosomes. Couples electing transfer of monosomic embryos should consider amniocentesis for ongoing pregnancies but should be informed of its limitations.
