Embryo Biopsy

Embryo biopsy is a medical procedure used in assisted reproduction, particularly during in vitro fertilization (IVF). It involves removing a small number of cells from a developing embryo and analyzing them for genetic defects or certain conditions. This helps identify the healthiest embryos for implantation into the uterus, potentially increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy. By ensuring that only embryos without serious genetic issues are selected, embryo biopsy can improve outcomes for couples experiencing infertility or those at risk of passing on genetic disorders.
