PGD - Pre Implantation Genetic Diagnosis
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a reproductive technology used with an IVF cycle. PGD can be used for diagnosis of a genetic disease in early embryos prior to implantation and pregnancy. In addition, this technology can be utilized in the field of assisted reproduction for aneuploidy screening and diagnosis of unbalanced inheritance of chromosome abnormalities, such as translocations or inversions.
Steps Involved in PGD-
- Normal In-Vitro Fertilization treatment will occur where eggs will be collected and fertilized.
- Embryos will be given the chance to grow for three days or five days.
- Cells will be removed via a biopsy procedure by an embryologist
- The cells are tested to see if the embryo from which they were removed contains the gene that causes the genetic condition in the family.
- The embryo unaffected by the condition is transferred
- The remaining healthy embryos can be frozen.
