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.
