Abstract
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) can be considered the earliest form of prenatal testing. It was first used in humans over 26 years ago. At its inception, PGD could only be performed for a limited number of genetic disorders. Technological advances in molecular biology and cytogenomics have been utilized in the field of PGD to greatly expand the spectrum of genetic disorders that can now be detected in early human embryos.

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is the term traditionally applied. For aneuploidy, preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) is often used. However, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is now considered by WHO to be more appropriate [1]. The reason is that rarely does a confirmatory “test” follow PGD, and especially after interrogation for aneuploidy testing to increase pregnancy rates. That “screening” is a misnomer is increasingly recognized. Here we use the terms interchangeably given historical literature but accept that PGT is the term to be used going forward.
