Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) and Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) are advanced genetic testing techniques used in surrogacy and IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) to ensure the best chances of a healthy pregnancy and baby. These procedures help intended parents select the healthiest embryos, reducing the risk of genetic disorders.
PGS involves screening embryos for chromosomal abnormalities, such as missing or extra chromosomes, which can lead to conditions like Down syndrome or miscarriage. By identifying embryos with the correct number of chromosomes, PGS helps improve the chances of a successful pregnancy.
PGD, on the other hand, is more specific. It screens for particular genetic disorders that may run in the family, such as cystic fibrosis or Tay-Sachs disease. PGD ensures that the embryo is free from the specific disorder, giving intended parents peace of mind.
