'''Preimplantation diagnosis''' is the actor of checking an ovum, zygote, or blastocyst for defects or diseases by [[cytogenetics]] before implanting into a womb. Preimplantation diagnosis takes place before [[prenatal diagnosis]], which refers to a checking for defects in a fetus or embryo that is already in a womb. Preimplantation diagnosis spares "women from carrying a pregnancy to the first or second trimester before learning of a serious genetic abnormality."<ref>S. Elias, "Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis by Comparative Genomic Hybridization," ''New England Journal of Medicine'' '''21''' Volume 345: 1569 - 1571, November 22, 2001.</ref> |
