Yes, preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) or preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) is used to find out chromosomal anomalies or genetic mutations. Main indications are familial history of a specific disease, multiple failures during prior attempts to conceive via assisted reproductive technologies and recurrent miscarriage.
