Preimplantation genetic diagnosis
Abstract Since its introduction in 1990, preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) has allowed embryo genetic analysis prior to transfer into the uterus during an in vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycle. The commonest indications are for detection of single-gene, X-linked, structural chromosomal and mitochondrial disorders as well as for Human Leucocyte ...

Changes in Italian Nurses' Genetic Knowledge and Perceptions Over a Decade
ABSTRACT Genetic knowledge is increasingly important in nursing, yet often seen as of limited relevance. This study examines Italian nurses' genetic knowledge and perceived relevance, comparing current findings with data from a 2011 survey. A cross‐sectional survey was carried out using a self‐administered questionnaire. A total of 504 nurses (95.1% of
