| Embryo transfer and
implantation After mutation analysis
of the blastomeres has been completed, once an embryo is predicted to be free from the
genetic disease for which testing was performed, embryos resulted without genetic
anomalies are transferred to the patient.
Embryo transfer is a 15 minute procedure accomplished by
inserting a catheter (preloaded with embryos) into the uterine cavity through the cervical
canal.
This procedure is often performed under ultrasound guidance. |
