Figure 2 (A) Embryo on day 3, blastomere analysis done for 18, X, and Y. Reading was 1818X, Turner syndrome (two aqua signals and one red or yellow signal that appears orange after picture is taken). (B) Same embryo on day 6, a blastocyst, after fixation and FISH analysis. Of the 60 nuclei, 55 were normal female (each with two red or yellow signals and two aqua signals) and 5 were Turner syndrome. Looking back on the day 3 image, the X signals appear close together.
