In vitro fertilization in combination with preimplantation genetic diagnosis (IVF-PGD) is a technique that helps couples avoid transmitting a genetic disorder to their offspring. Couples using IVF-PGD react to treatment and subsequent pregnancy and parenthood as do couples using IVF for fertility problems.
Keywords: in vitro fertilization; preimplantation genetic diagnosis; counseling; child development; genetic disorders
