title: Birth after transfer of frozen-thawed vitrified biopsied blastocysts.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present a case describing the birth of a healthy female after the replacement of vitrified biopsied embryos after Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis.
  
  
  METHODS
  A descriptive case report of a single patient.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Our patient carrier of an X-linked disease became pregnant and as a result a healthy girl was born.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This report shows that blastocysts obtained from biopsied embryos can be successfully cryopreserved by a simple, secure and low-cost vitrification method using a Hemi-straw support.
