PRE-IMPLANTATION GENETIC DIAGNOSIS – PGD
The preimplantation genetic diagnosis of translocations (or other structural chromosomal disorders) is suitable for couples where one or both partners are proven to be carriers of a balanced translocation or other structural chromosomal alteration. Today, you can investigate most translocations using NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) methods or by using Karyomapping. PGD screens embryos created through IVF for inheritable serious genetic disorders in order to avoid passing on the condition to offspring.
