Genetic testing for embryos

Genetic testing for embryos involves analyzing a small sample of cells from an embryo created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) to check for genetic conditions or abnormalities. This process helps identify embryos with the best chance of developing healthfully and reduces the risk of passing on inherited diseases. The testing can detect issues like chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome, or specific gene mutations. It provides valuable information for making informed decisions about which embryos to implant, aiming to increase the likelihood of a healthy pregnancy and baby.
