Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis, Egg Donor Program, California In Vitro Fertilization

The process of preimplantation genetic diagnosis or PGD refers to the ability to determine gene related diagnoses in very early human embryos prior to implantation of the embryo in the uterus. During preimplantation genetic diagnosis procedure, a couple in which one or both partners carry a gene related mutation undergoes IVF to create several early embryos. A single cell is removed from the embryo two days after fertilization in the laboratory for testing. The nuclear material containing the DNA is then put through an amplification process to make millions of copies of the gene. The preimplantation genetic diagnosis determines whether or not the embryo from which the DNA was obtained carries the genetic mutation.
