Using a Small Biopse of a Few Cells
In the united states, well over 60 % of all families going through i v f will do some kind up genetic testing using this process that i just described. And it has become quite common now to do some level of genotyping using the d and a which can be extracted from those few cells. This is by far the most common type of genetic testing that families go through. An anplod just means abnormal chromozome structure, the most familiar kind being something called trisome 21. We have an extra copy of o 21, and that leads to downsindrome. But there are many other ways in which there can be a problem with the chromozomes. It's
