A RESEARCH ON APPLYING EMBRYO BIOSPY PROCEDURE, SEPARATING DNA OF EMBRYO FOR PREIMPLANTATION GENETIC DIAGNOSIS.

Abstract

In the world today, there are about 300 genes involved in genetic diseases which can be detected by PGD. In this specific group, there exist nearly 200 different genetic disorders such as thalassemia, pernicious anemia, cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic marrow, congenital deafness… Since about two decades ago, thanks to the strong growth of science and technology, molecular biology has become an invaluable support tool for the diagnosis and treatment of genetic diseases. However, research in molecular biology applications serving genetic diagnosis by DNA extraction method of embryo splitting has not been paid much attention in Vietnam. So the project named “Research on applying embryo biopsy procedure, separating the DNA of embryo for Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis” has been done for the purpose of applying embryo biopsy procedure, seprating DNA of embryo for Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis.
