Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a form of prenatal diagnosis that is performed on early embryos created by in vitro fertilization (IVF). In comparison to other established methods of prenatal diagnosis, such as chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis, PGD is not performed on an ongoing intrauterine pregnancy in the late first or early second trimester, but on embryos developing in the IVF laboratory prior to transfer to the uterus. 2, record 1, English, - preimplantation%20genetic%20diagnosis

Le diagnostic génétique préimplantatoire est une analyse génétique effectuée sur des embryons formés in vitro afin d’analyser leur composition. Cela permet de détecter des anomalies chromosomiques qui peuvent souvent mener à une fausse couche. L'analyse peut également être utile pour identifier des embryons affectés par des anomalies génétiques familiales connues. 1, record 1, French, - diagnostic%20g%C3%A9n%C3%A9tique%20pr%C3%A9implantatoire

Il n’existe à l’heure actuelle, si ce n’est la détermination du sexe des embryons, aucune méthode qui permette de détecter en un seul test l’ensemble des mutations dont peut être affecté un seul gène. C’est pour cette raison que la technique dite de préamplification du génome est très intéressante. Elle consiste à utiliser, lors d’une première réaction d’amplification, un ensemble d’oligonucléotides de 15 bases, représentant le plus grand nombre de séquences possibles, et permettant d’amplifier 95% du génome; cette technique augmente donc de façon considérable la quantité de matériel de départ. 1, record 5, French, - technique%20de%20pr%C3%A9amplification%20du%20g%C3%A9nome
