===Preimplantation genetic diagnosis===
[[Preimplantation genetic diagnosis]] (PGD or PIGD) refers to genetic profiling of embryos prior to implantation (as a form of embryo profiling), and sometimes even of oocytes prior to fertilization. When used to screen for a specific genetic sequence, its main advantage is that it avoids selective pregnancy termination, as the method makes it highly likely that a selected embryo will be free of the condition under consideration.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://americanpregnancy.org/getting-pregnant/infertility/preimplantation-genetic-diagnosis-70971|title = Diagnóstico Genético Preimplantacional: DGP|date = 25 April 2017}}</ref>

In the UK, AIS appears on a list of serious genetic diseases that may be screened for via PGD.<ref>[http://guide.hfea.gov.uk/pgd/ PGD conditions licensed by the HFEA] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006102127/http://guide.hfea.gov.uk/pgd/ |date=October 6, 2014 }}, Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority, 1 October 2014.
