Answer by Crea Centro médico de Reproducción Asistida:
The PGD technique is indicated in the following cases:
- Couples who are carriers of a genetic disease, such as cystic fibrosis or osteogenesis imperfecta
- Alterations in the karyotype of one of the members of the couple
- Men with FISH in altered spermatozoa or severe male factor
- Implantation failures in IVF
- Advanced maternal age
- Repeat abortions
In the case of couples carrying a genetic alteration or monogenic disease, a study is needed prior to PGD to locate the mutation and be able to look for it in the cells of the embryo to be analyzed
