ABSTRACT
Reproductive genetics is now inseparably linked to reproductive medicine procedures and is becoming an integral part thereof. It has been applied in the diagnosis of factors of infertility and genetic disorder carrier status. This is specifically used for screening assessments before admitting a couple to an in vitro fertilization (IVF) program for targeted diagnosis of hereditary diseases or defects, or as part of preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) procedures. In many cases it is becoming an integral part of controlling therapeutic results in the form of noninvasive or invasive prenatal diagnosis.
