preimplantation genetic testing
Preimplantation genetic testing refers to a process where genetic testing is performed on embryos created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) before they are implanted into the uterus. This testing helps identify any genetic abnormalities or specific genetic traits, allowing potential parents to make informed decisions about which embryo to implant.
