Abstract
Prenatal screening for foetal anomalies has advanced in recent years, from amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling (CVS) and ultrasonography to non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) of maternal blood to assess foetal sex chromosomes status. For couples at a high risk of having a child with a genetic diagnosis, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) can be performed on IVF embryos before implantation.
