preimplantation

It is done by using a technology called preimplantation genetic diagnosis, which was developed two decades ago to screen embryos for genetic disease.

Today, using a scientific advance called preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), couples can create embryos through standard fertility methods, then screen them for genetic disorders, selecting only those that are mutation-free for implantation.
