Preimplantation Genetic Screening for improved success in pregnancy


Preimplantation genetic screening or PGS (also often known as aneuploidy screening) is a procedure in which the embryos created through Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) are examined for chromosomal abnormalities. Pregnancies where embryos show chromosomal abnormalities often end in miscarriages or could result in conditions such as Down Syndrome.https://mothertobe.in/tr…/preimplantation-genetic-screening/
