I am not Carole, but this just happened to my4leafclover and she retested them and found that all 3 were in fact normal.

Even though every effort is made to select a cell with a nucleus (and thus containing DNA) sometimes the cell is really a cell fragment without DNA. So "No DNA detected" does not tell you anything about the embryo, only that the test itself failed. So it is not surprising that embryos with this result could go on and develop. Best Wishes, Carole
