Preimplantation genetic screening (PGS)
Preimplantation genetic screening (PGS)
Pre-implantation genetic screening is the detection of any genetic disorders in an embryo. DNA is taken from the embryo's cells and copied through a polymerase chain reaction. The DNA code is then interpreted and any chromosomal abnormalities are diagnosed. Embryos free of genetic disorders are implanted in the uterus.
