Today, a new technology known as “Pre-Pregnancy Genetic Testing” is available in Bangkok. If parents have been screened for genetic disorders and have found that they both have or are carriers of a genetic disorder, then Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) will be used. PGD is a diagnostic procedure used to test embryos in order to prevent the parents’ genetic disorders from being passed on. Another technology that is now widely available in Bangkok is Pre-Pregnancy Genetic Testing. For parents who are carriers of genetic disorders, this testing will allow them to have the healthy children they desire.
