PGD / PGS
Embryos created in the laboratory can be tested before transfer to identify genetic disorders or birth defects.
On the third day of embryo development, a biopsy can be taken and tested for genetic abnormalities.
- Screening for aneuploidy,
- Single-gene disorders,
- Chromosomal translocations
As a result, more than 400 genetic diseases can be diagnosed.
PGD can be used to determine whether an embryo carries a genetic disorder already known to exist in one or both parents.
PGS is performed when there are no known genetic disorders in the parents, to screen for possible inherited abnormalities.
