Does PGD replace prenatal testing?
No, PGD does not replace prenatal testing, such as chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis. PGD is a research-based test allowing for a similar diagnosis to those available by prenatal testing. However, prenatal testing is still recommended, as this is currently the standard of care. Our genetic counselors can discuss what prenatal testing options are available to you.
No, PGD does not replace prenatal testing, such as chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis. We recommend that prenatal testing be performed in the resultant pregnancy via chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis in order to confirm our diagnosis from PGD and to rule out other aneuploidies not tested for by PGD, as this is the standard-of-care. Our genetic counselors can discuss what prenatal testing options are available to you.
