What is preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD)?
PGD is a method of analysing the genetic status of embryos before they are transferred to the uterus. It can be carried out for several reasons: genetic diseases in the family, the mother's age, a predominant male factor in infertility, repeated IVF failures or recurrent pregnancy loss. It also applies to all chromosomal abnormalities and to the following single-gene disorders;
- Mediterranean anaemia (β-thalassaemia)
- Sickle cell disease (sickle cell anaemia)
- Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)
- Cystic fibrosis
- Niemann-Pick disease
- Rhesus incompatibility
- Fanconi anaemia
- Ichthyosis
- Krabbe disease
- Leigh syndrome
- Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome
