## Communicated by Stylianos Antonarakis Sickle-cell and b-thalassemia syndromes are priority genetic diseases for prevention programs involving population screening with the option of prenatal diagnosis for carrier couples. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) represents a specialized alternat
The combination of in vitro fertilization (IVF) with PCR technologies enables diagnosis of single gene defects for preimplantation genetic diagnosis. This has been accomplished by two-step nested PCR, or PEP-PCR followed by nested PCR processes. To improve the detection of single cell genetic defect
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) allows the selection of unaffected IVF embryos for transfer in couples that are at risk for transmitting genetic diseases. For monogenic diseases, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based diagnosis is usually performed on single blastomeres. In Greece, up to 10 p
