preimplantation genetic diagnosis

How is PGD performed?


PGD involves several key steps:
Ovarian Stimulation: The woman undergoes ovarian stimulation to produce multiple eggs.
Egg Retrieval: The eggs are retrieved from the ovaries.
Fertilization: The retrieved eggs are fertilized with sperm in the laboratory to create embryos.
Embryo Biopsy: A few cells are removed from each embryo for genetic testing.
Genetic Analysis: The biopsied cells are analyzed for specific genetic conditions or chromosomal abnormalities.
Embryo Selection: Healthy embryos are selected for transfer to the uterus, while embryos with genetic abnormalities are excluded.
