6.005 Preimplantation genetic testing outcomes for poor prognosis cryptic translocation carrier couples

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis for an insertional translocation carrier.

BACKGROUND While preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is well established for carriers of reciprocal terminal translocations, reports on PGD for insertional translocation carriers are lacking. Here, we report on the PGD of an insertional translocation carrier with karyotype 46,XX,ins(14;2)(q21;q31q35). Due to the possibility of crossovers within the inserted region, rather than a single prob...

Preimplantation Genetic Testing

Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) involves analysis of biopsied cells as part of an assisted reproductive procedure. It is generally considered to be divided into 2 categories. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is used to detect a specific inherited disorder and aims to prevent the birth of affected children in couples at high risk of transmitting a disorder. Preimplantation genetic s...
