Genetic Screens

4.6K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

CRISPR01:59

CRISPR

46.4K
Genome editing technologies allow scientists to modify an organism’s DNA via the addition, removal, or rearrangement of genetic material at specific genomic locations. These types of techniques could potentially be used to cure genetic disorders such as hemophilia and sickle cell anemia. One popular and widely used DNA-editing research tool that could lead to safe and effective cures for genetic disorders is the CRISPR-Cas9 system. CRISPR-Cas9 stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced...

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive medicine
  • Genetics
  • Embryology

Background:

  • Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and screening (PGS) offer solutions for couples at high risk of transmitting genetic disorders.
  • PGS aids in selecting euploid embryos, potentially preventing implantation failures and miscarriages.
  • The application and provision of PGS remain subjects of ongoing debate.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the advancements and applications of PGD and PGS.
  • To highlight the improvements in embryo biopsy and genetic analysis technologies.
  • To discuss the expanding indications for PGD/PGS.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical development and technological advancements in PGD/PGS.
  • Analysis of embryo biopsy techniques.
  • Evaluation of genetic analysis technologies.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements in PGD/PGS accuracy since the first successful case in 1990.
  • Dramatic enhancements in both embryo biopsy and genetic technologies.
  • Expanded diagnostic capabilities and clinical applications for PGD/PGS.

Conclusions:

  • PGD/PGS are crucial tools for couples seeking to avoid passing on genetic disorders.
  • Technological progress has greatly increased the effectiveness and scope of PGD/PGS.
  • Continued development promises further improvements in reproductive genetic technologies.
