Who might benefit from PGD?
In general, there are 4 major groups of patients that might be offered PGD (other indications could be considered as well): • Patients with inherited genetic diseases (this is rare) • Patients that are carriers of chromosomal translocations that have suffered recurrent miscarriages (also rare) • Patients that are having IVF with advanced female age – 38 or older (common) • Patients of any age with repeated IVF failure – usually defined as 3 or more failed attempts
