A member asked:
Is it possible to identify which genetic disease the embryo contain via pgd without telling the doctor which disease to test for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Unless previously shared information on potential risks, the likelihood of testing for the correct defect is small, unless it is more common defect, that is commonly tested.
