Preimplantation screening (health)


Or preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) - Before an in vitro-fertilized embryo is implanted in a woman's uterus, it can be screened for specific genetic mutations that are known to cause particular genetic diseases or for chromosomal abnormalities. One or more cells are removed from the preimplantation embryo for testing.
