Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)
PGD allows couples to screen embryos for specific genetic conditions, chromosomal abnormalities, or hereditary diseases, helping them make informed decisions during the IVF process.
- Detects genetic and chromosomal disorders in embryos
- Reduces risk of inherited diseases
- Supports selection of healthy embryos for implantation
- Used in conjunction with IVF for enhanced success
- Provides reassurance to couples with known genetic risks
Who Can Benefit from PGD: Couples with a family history of genetic disorders, recurrent miscarriages, or advanced maternal age may benefit from PGD.
Procedure Overview: PGD involves the extraction of a few cells from embryos created via IVF, followed by genetic testing to select the healthiest embryos for transfer.
