Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is a type of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) where embryos are screened for certain genetic disorders or inherited conditions before being transferred to the uterus. This process helps couples at risk of passing on genetic conditions to their offspring to have a healthy baby.

Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is a technique used in Belgium to identify and select embryos free of genetic disorders before transferring them to the uterus for implantation.
PGD is available at several fertility clinics across Belgium. It requires a biopsy of an embryo at the 5-day or blastocyst stage, followed by genetic testing. The cost ranges from €3,000 to €7,000 per cycle.
