The preimplantation genetic diagnosis or PGD consists of the genetic analysis of an embryo cell to know if it suffers any genetic alteration. This cell biopsy is normally done 3 days after ICSI when the embryo has approximately 8 cells. However, it is also possible to do PGD with blastocysts, by biopsying several cells of the trophectoderm.
