1 Nov 1999

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is performed in couples at risk of genetic disease, so as to avoid transfer of embryos which are affected by a monogenic disease or which carry chromosomal aberrations. As in all in-vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, supernumerary non-affected good-quality embryos may be available after PGD. These embryos can be cryopreserved.
