Preimplantation genetic testing in the 21st century: uncharted territory.
The past hundred years have given birth to arguably the most profound changes in society, medicine, and technology the world has ever witnessed. Genetics is one such field that has enjoyed a meteoric rise during this time. Progressing from Mendelian genetics to the discovery of DNA to the ability to sequence the human genome, perhaps no other discipline holds more promise to affect future change than genetics. Technology currently exists to evaluate some of the genetic information held by developing embryos in the context of an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle. This information is then used to determine which embryos are selected for uterine transfer. Many societies have enacted legislation to protect against possible abuses utilizing this technology. However, it is incumbent upon society to continue ensuring that preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD)-and genetic testing in general-is applied in a way that utilizes its potential in a responsible manner to improve health care.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Medicine Insights: Reproductive Health is a peer reviewed; open access journal, which covers all aspects of Reproduction: Gynecology, Obstetrics, and Infertility, spanning both male and female issues, from the physical to the psychological and the social, including: sex, contraception, pregnancy, childbirth, and related topics such as social and emotional impacts. It welcomes original research and review articles from across the health sciences. Clinical subjects include fertility and sterility, infertility and assisted reproduction, IVF, fertility preservation despite gonadotoxic chemo- and/or radiotherapy, pregnancy problems, PPD, infections and disease, surgery, diagnosis, menopause, HRT, pelvic floor problems, reproductive cancers and environmental impacts on reproduction, although this list is by no means exhaustive Subjects covered include, but are not limited to: • fertility and sterility, • infertility and ART, • ART/IVF, • fertility preservation despite gonadotoxic chemo- and/or radiotherapy, • pregnancy problems, • Postpartum depression • Infections and disease, • Gyn/Ob surgery, • diagnosis, • Contraception • Premenstrual tension • Gynecologic Oncology • reproductive cancers • environmental impacts on reproduction, • Obstetrics/Gynaecology • Women''s Health • menopause, • HRT, • pelvic floor problems, • Paediatric and adolescent gynaecology • PID
