Abstract:BACKGROUND:We report on our experience with preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for single gene disorders (SGDs), from 1999 to 2004, describing strategies and overall clinical outcome of 250 cycles in 174 couples for 23 different genetic conditions. METHODS: PGD cycles included 15 for autosomal dominant, 148 for autosomal recessive and 19 for X-linked SGDs. In addition, 68 cycles of PGD for SGDs were performed in combination with HLA matching. The strategy in each case used an initial multiplex PCR, follow… Show more
