PGD Techniques and Concepts

This page introduces key concepts related to Präimplantationsdiagnostik (PGD) and genetic technologies. PGD is explained as a technique used in conjunction with in vitro fertilization (IVF) to ensure that a baby does not possess known genetic defects from either parent. After genetic analysis, only embryos free of defects are implanted in the mother's womb.

Preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) is defined as a set of techniques for testing whether embryos obtained through IVF have abnormal chromosome numbers. The page also covers concepts such as genetic cloning, designer babies, and gene testing.

Definition: Präimplantationsdiagnostik einfach erklärt - PGD is a complex process that involves analyzing embryos created through IVF to select those without specific genetic defects before implantation in the uterus.

Vocabulary: Genome Editing refers to a group of technologies that give scientists the ability to change an organism's DNA by adding, removing, or altering genetic material at particular locations in the genome.
