How is a diagnosis made using Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis – PGD?
During IVF, sperm and eggs are combined in the laboratory to form embryos. Embryos are grown for a period of about two to three days. Or, the third day, an embryologist uses microscopic instruments to carefully extract one cell from each embryo. A geneticist analyzes the cell and determines genetic abnormalities and the clinician then transfers healthy embryos to the uterus.
