Cardiac disease, which is a common condition with genetic predisposition, has become a relatively frequent indication for preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), performed in the last dozen years to provide an option for couplers at risk to avoid the birth of an offspring without predisposition to cardiac disease. We present here our experience of 109 PGT cycles for cardiac disease, resulting in birth of 54 mutation free children, which is a part of our overall PGT series of 6204 PGT cycles for monogenic disorders (PGT-M), with 2,517 resulting births, free of genetic disorders. The accumulated experience, presented below, demonstrates considerable progress in using PGT for avoiding the birth of children with genetic predisposition to cardiac disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
