Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is an old method of diagnosing an embryo in the process of in vitro fertilization (IVF).

In recent years it was changed to:

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)

This method makes it possible to give birth to healthy children in those families in which there is a high probability of transmitting a genetic disease to a child.

The initial stage of preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is in vitro fertilization (IVF), followed by genetic testing of the resulting embryos.

Then the transfer of an embryo, checked for genetic diseases, into the uterus.

Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is the best option for people who are at high risk of having a child with a chromosomal abnormality or genetic disease.

To date, many children have been born who did not inherit a family disease after undergoing preimplantation genetic diagnostics, which is the best proof of the effectiveness of this method.
