Pre Implantation Genetic Diagnosis

Pre Implantation Genetic Diagnosis

PGD for single gene diseases is an early diagnosis of an embryo prior to transfer to the uterus. Therefore, prior to establishment of pregnancy an analysis of DNA of the embryo through a PGD test will help in diagnosing any single gene disorders or mutations. PGD helps couples who have an increased risk for a genetic disease, to have a healthy pregnancy.
