胚胎植入前遗传学诊断(PGD)
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (pgd) is an excellent option for couples with genetic disorders transmitted to their children. pgd allows doctors and embryologists to determine if an embryo carries a specific disease based on its genetic makeup.
pgd is used to screen for abnormal numbers of chromosomes, broken or damaged chromosomes, and other abnormalities.
PGD can be used to screen for many conditions, including: Down syndrome
Down’s syndrome
Trisomy 21 syndrome
Tessacs disease
Hemophilia A and B.
Gaucher disease, sickle cell anemia
PGD is performed on female embryos for the most common chromosomal problems, allowing doctors and couples to determine which embryos are most likely to result in a healthy ongoing pregnancy. In addition, for couples whose IVF cycles have failed for unknown reasons, preimplantation genetic diagnosis can provide important information in determining the cause of failure.
PGD can also be used for sex selection.

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is an excellent option for couples who are at risk of transmitting a genetic disease to their child. PGD allows doctors and embryologists to determine if an embryo carries a specific disease based on the genetic makeup of the embryo.
PGD is used to screen for abnormal chromosome numbers, broken or damaged chromosomes, and other abnormalities.
PGD can be used to screen for many disorders, including.
Down syndrome
Trisomy 21 syndrome
Tessacs disease
Hemophilia A and B
Gaucher’s disease, sickle cell anemia
PGD of a woman’s embryos for the most common chromosomal problems allows doctors and couples to determine which embryos are most likely to result in a healthy, sustained pregnancy. In addition, for couples whose IVF cycles have failed for unknown reasons, pre-implantation genetic diagnosis can provide important information to determine the cause of failure.
PGD can also be used for sex selection.
