Yes, preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) or preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) can be used to detect certain chromosomal abnormalities or genetic mutations. The main reasons for requesting this test include a family history of a genetic disease that may be transferred to the offspring, multiple IVF failures and recurrent miscarriage.
