This review demonstrates how amniotic fluid biochemical testing provides critical phenotypic evidence (ACMG PP4) for reclassifying variants of uncertain significance (VUS) in prenatal organic acidurias. Integrating metabolite analysis with genetic testing enhances diagnostic accuracy and enables informed clinical decisions for affected families ...

What role should public opinion play in ethico-legal decision making?:the example of selecting sex for non-medical reasons using preimplantation genetic diagnosis [PDF]
In this article we consider the prohibition on the use of preimplantation genetic diagnosis to select an embryo on the basis of its sex for non-medical reasons.

Optimisation of Laser‐Assisted Biopsy Parameters in Bovine Embryos
ABSTRACT Although laser‐assisted biopsy has shown advantages in other species, optimised protocols for bovine embryos remain scarce. This study developed a systematically optimised laser biopsy method for bovine embryos, which demonstrated high post‐biopsy survival rates. Key parameters including laser energy, needle diameter, and operating medium were

The ethical challenges of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD)
Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD or PIGD) refers to genetic profiling of embryos prior to implantation (as a form of embryo profiling). PGD has raised ethical issues, although this approach could reduce reliance on fetal selection during pregnancy.
