[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again - I think I’d request PGD testing regardless of his result after reading more about it. I’ll bring it up with the RE. [/quote] Umm I think you might be confused or at least not using the most up to date language. PGD is an outdated term but generally refers to what is now called PGT-M which tests for single gene conditions where both parents are carrier (what the test you took screens for). It only tests for that one disease and is specific to you. This would not be done unless you were both carriers for the same disease. PGT-A is commonly done but just checks to see if an embryo has the right number of chromosomes, so can screen for downs and other chromosomal disorders, but would not be able to screen for any of the autosomal recessive diseases the genetics panels screen for.
