Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is an adjuvant technique to in vitro fertilization (IVF) for detecting genetic diseases or conditions before the implantation of embryo. PGD can be performed for screening of a range of medical conditions such as Down’s syndrome, inheritable diseases and traits of other physiological abnormality. Increasing patient awareness about PGD technique and rising prevalence of genetic disorders among infants has led to the rise in demand for PGD along with IVF procedure. The combination of PGD and IVF has improved the rate of successful pregnancy due to reduced chances of passing the undesired genetic material in the embryo.
