PGD PGD is a laboratory procedure that is used in conjunction with in vitro fertilization (IVF) to help detect certain diseases and test for some of the rarest genetic conditions. Nonetheless, families affected by essentially any inherited disease can reduce the risk their offspring will suffer that genetic disorder. We work with the leading genetic laboratories
Genesis Genetics and Reprogenetics to
offer PGD as an option to couples who are at risk
of having a child with an inherited disorder.
The biopsied cells are analyzed to determine
which embryos have inherited the disease and
which embryos are free of the disease. These
results are discussed with the patient and
a decision is made to determine the number
of disease free embryos to transfer.
