Sexaje. Las tecnologías para sexar embriones de forma rápida y fiable permiten generar únicamente ejemplares del sexo deseado en puntos específicos de un programa de mejoramiento genético, lo que reduce considerablemente el número de animales necesario y acelera el progreso genético. 2, record 1, Spanish, - sexaje%20de%20embri%C3%B3n

The determination of the sex of an embryo, typically by means of PCR [polymerase chain reaction] involving amplification from a small sample of embryonic tissue, using primers specific for a locus on the Y chromosome. 2, record 2, English, - embryo%20sexing

FISH [fluorescent in situ hybridisation] is used for the analysis of chromosomes and is the preferred method of embryo sexing for patients at risk of transmitting X-linked diseases. 3, record 2, English, - embryo%20sexing

It is now possible to detect some genetic diseases in very early embryos by a procedure known as preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). [...] PGD has primarily been used to determine the sex of embryos for couples who carry a sex linked disease, such as haemophilia or muscular dystrophy, (which affect only boys). Embryo sexing is achieved by subjecting the biopsied cells to fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH) where the X- and Y-chromosomes in the cells are labelled red and green. 4, record 2, English, - embryo%20sexing

Sexage d'embryon. Détermination du sexe d'un embryon avant la naissance. Généralement accomplie par la réaction de polymérisation en chaîne de l'ADN extrait d'un échantillon de tissu embryonnaire. Elle dépend de la disponibilité de marqueurs fiables pour différencier les chromosomes sexuels. 2, record 2, French, - d%C3%A9termination%20du%20sexe%20de%20l%27embryon

La réalisation du caryotype foetal doit être proposée en cas de diagnostic prénatal de maladie génique récessive liée au sexe comme la myopathie de Duchenne ou l'hémophilie, la détermination du sexe de l'embryon est nécessaire pour évaluer un premier risque ; seul les garçons sont atteints (un sur deux). 3, record 2, French, - d%C3%A9termination%20du%20sexe%20de%20l%27embryon
