1. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (NLD: preimplantatie genetische diagnose)
Conditions
Interventions
Embryos were obtained from patients undergoing PGD. One or two cells were removed from embryos with more than 6 cells at day 3. Embryos shown to be free of disease were replaced in the uterus. Some s
