Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)

For couples at risk of having children affected by an inherited disease, preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a valuable alternative to conventional prenatal diagnosis by chorion villus sampling or amniocentesis, since it avoids the uncertainty and trauma associated with diagnosis late in an established pregnancy. With PGD, fertile couples have in vitro fertilisation (IVF) so that the early embryo is accessible allowing single cells to be removed by embryo biopsy for genetic analysis and diagnosis before transfer and implantation in the uterus.
