Children born after preimplantation genetic diagnosis show no increase in congenital anomalies.
Now over 20 years old (Handyside et al., 1990), preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is considered by some to be not only an intrinsic component of prenatal genetic diagnosis (Simpson, 2009) but more arguably a novel way to increase pregnancy rates in assisted reproductive technology (ART). PGD remains widely practiced, despite recent controversy with respect to PGD aneuploidy testing (Maste...

متن کاملHuman oocyte cryopreservation.
The clinical role of oocyte cryopreservation in assisted reproduction, as an adjunct to sperm and embryo cryopreservation, has been comparatively slow to evolve as a consequence of theoretical concerns related to efficacy and safety. Basic biological studies in the 1990's alleviated many of these concerns leading to more widespread adoption of the technology. While a number of babies were born ...
