• One clinic estimates the cost of preimplantation genetic diagnosis during in vitro fertilization at $10,480, not including all costs (Fertility Institutes, n.d.b).

  Academic text (2005)

• During the preimplantation stage, the embryo undergoes several cell divisions before it implants in the uterus.

• Scientists study the preimplantation phase to understand early embryonic development and identify potential genetic issues.
