    Abstract : Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is an established alternative for couples at high risk of having an affected child, with the advantage that the genetic testing is performed at the embryo stage and the couple can thereby avoid a pregnancy termination of an affected foetus. The disadvantage is that an IVF treatment is required, which can be a stressful experience. READ MORE

    Abstract : Chromosomal aberrations occurring during gametogenesis and early embryonic development play a significant role in infertility and fetal loss in humans. Germ cells that have an abnormal number of chromosomes (aneuploidy) are generated mainly due to errors during female gamete formation, a phenomenon increasing in occurrence with age. READ MORE
