Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD): - Purpose: Screens embryos for genetic abnormalities before implantation. 🧬 - Procedure: Single cell extracted from embryos for genetic testing during IVF. 🔬 - Genetic Screening: Identifies specific disorders, chromosomal abnormalities, or mutations. 🧬 - Selective Transfer: Only healthy embryos selected for implantation, improving pregnancy success. 🤰 - Applications: Prevents genetic diseases, selects desired traits, enhances IVF success. 💡 - Ethical

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is a molecular diagnostic technique used during in vitro fertilization (IVF) to assess the genetic health of embryos before implantation. Around five days after fertilization, when the embryo reaches the blastocyst stage, a few cells from the trophectoderm (the outer layer that will form the placenta) are carefully removed for analysis. This process does not harm the developing embryo and allows scientists to identify potential genetic or chromosomal abnorma
