Abstract:
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis(PGD) is a pre-gestational diagnostic technique used to identify genetic defects in embryos created through in vitro fertilization prior to transfer into the uterus.It is currently the only option available to avoid the dilemma of a pregnancy termination due to unfavorable prenatal diagnosis of high risk genetic diseases,however,the limitation of this technique could result in uncertain results.To avoid ethics disputes,patients must undergo a medical informed consent process to fully understand the risks prior to undergoing PGD.This process is often hampered by the patients' restricted recognition ability.Here we discuss possible strategies to help patients completely comprehend the critical issues relating to PGD,including comprehensiveness of PGD related information,and all possible benefits and risks of currently available operational and detection techniques.Based on this, It is necessary to sign a detailed medical informed consent according to different inherited disease.
