Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis can be utilised for couples who have a family history of a single-gene abnormality that puts the foetus at high risk of inheriting it. Autosomal dominant (a mutation inherited from one parent causes disease), autosomal recessive (the same mutation inherited from both parents causes disease), X-linked dominant (a mutation on an X chromosome from only one parent causes disease), X-linked recessive (the same mutation on the X chromosome from both parents causes disease), Y-linked (the mutation is inherited on the Y chromosome from the father causes disease), and mitochondrial (the mutation occurs in mitochondrial DNA and is inherited from the mother).
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis is frequently used to detect autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and X-linked disorders. It is less usually employed to test for mitochondrial abnormalities, owing to the unpredictability of mitochondrial heteroplasmy, in which the cell contains some mitochondria with the mutation and others without. The percentage of defective mitochondria impacts illness expression (whether it affects progeny) as well as disease severity.
Women above the age of 35 are regarded to be of advanced maternal age, which increases the chance of passing on a chromosomal problem to their children. FISH and CGH can detect both aneuploidy (abnormal chromosome number) and chromosomal translocation (part of one chromosome is transferred to another).
