Couples who are carriers of Tay-Sachs Disease have several reproductive options to consider:
- Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD): Used in conjunction with in vitro fertilization (IVF), PGD allows embryos to be tested for Tay-Sachs Disease before implantation. - Donor Gametes: Couples may choose to use donor sperm or eggs that do not carry the mutated gene. - Adoption: Another option for couples who wish to avoid the risk of passing on Tay-Sachs Disease.
