Gender selection has an important role in identifying genetic abnormality. Infertility clinics carry it out in order to detect genetic mutation that has happened to the fetus. Genetic mutation is a condition wherein genetic disorder may get transmitted to offspring from any of its parent and most of these genetic mutations are gender specific.
If any of the parents is carrying mutated gene in their chromosome, the child has 50% chance of suffering from this mutated chromosome. However, as most of the genetic mutations are gender specific,gender selection helps in the identification of gender abnormality.
Infertility clinics that have a team of specialists can help you in this process. The most commonly practiced genetic make-up analysis techniques for the identification of genetic abnormalities are pre-implementation genetic diagnosis, amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling. Among this, pre-implantation genetic diagnosis is done prior to implantation, while all other techniques are done after the implantation of the embryo into the uterus. If the embryo is detected with abnormalities, such pregnancy has to be terminated.
