A normal karyotype does not eliminate the possibility of carrying BT for couples with uRPL. The use of PGT-A allows us to perceive the "carrier couples" missed by karyotyping analysis, providing an increased risk of finding cryptic BTs if similar SVs are always detected on two chromosomes among multiple embryos. Nonetheless, certain carriers with translocated segments of sub-resolution may still go unnoticed.
