Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a process in which ASOs are used to determine genetic risk factors present in embryos before they are implanted during in vitro fertilization. This allows for the selection of embryos that do not carry genetic disorders or abnormalities, increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy and reducing the risk of passing on genetic disorders to offspring. Genome scanning, RFLP analysis, and next-generation sequencing are all genetic analysis techniques that can be used in conjunction with PGD, but they are not the specific process of using ASOs in IVF.
