GENETIC DISEASES IN IVF
Abnormalities in both males and females may cause implantation failure or miscarriage as well as birth defects in a resulting child. Preimplantation genetic testing evaluates embryos for genetic abnormalities prior to embryo transfer during IVF.
Genes is made up of DNA which is an essential part of heredity. Genes come in pairs, with one inherited from the male and one from the female parent. Genes are the dominant elements in DNA that determine a human’s development, function and personal attributes such as hair and eye color. A genetic disorder results when genes are not properly formed, either before birth or through mutation after birth.
