PGD (preimplantation genetic diagnosis): Preimplantation diagnostic techniques used to detect a serious genetic disease in an embryo produced in vitro. The disease in question is usually a monogenic (single-gene) disorder.  ●  PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy): Preimplantation diagnostic techniques used to detect chromosomal disorders in an embryo produced in vitro.
