Abstract

As mentioned in the introduction, after over two decades of application to clinical practice, PGD is no longer a research tool, but become an established procedure, considered by patients as a realistic option to reproduce responsibly without risk of having an affected pregnancy. With such an option, the at-risk couples can achieve the desired family size with no much difference from the couples without the known inherited risk. As will be described below, the available data of approximately hundreds of thousands of PGD cycles performed by the present time, suggest that the procedure is safe, accurate and reliable, and should be offered to those at need for the procedure, who will otherwise not reproduce because of fear of affected pregnancy or prenatal diagnosis followed by termination of pregnancy [1, 2].
