First, patients consult with us regarding their concerns. We then refer them to a genetic counselor who then evaluates their risk for passing on a genetic disorder. If necessary and if it hasn’t already taken place, carrier testing is completed to determine specific genetic disease risks. If it is determined that they would benefit from PGD and if the couple or individual decide to go forward, we begin IVF and the subsequent PGD process.
