1. A procedure in which cells are gently suctioned from a GENE THERAPY pregnant woman's uterus to test for genetic disorders in the fetus. 2. A procedure in which a small amount of fluid (and fetal cells within it) is carefully extracted from a pregnant woman's uterus to test for IN VITRO FERTILIZATION genetic disorders in the fetus. 3. A treatment approach PREIMPLANTATION GENETIC that seeks to correct a DIAGNOSIS (PGD) genetic disorder by insert- ing healthy copies of the mutated genes responsible for the disorder. 4. A procedure in which one or two cells are removed from a developing embryo and tested for genetic disorders; embryos that are free of genetic disorders may then be implanted into CHORIONIC VILLUS SAMPLING (cvs) a woman's uterus. 5. A procedure in which an egg is fertilized in a petri dish, after which one or more embryos are implanted into a woman's AMNIOCENTESIS uterus.

A variety of fertility tests are available for women to purchase overthe counter—for example, at drugstores. Because more women nowdelay their first pregnancy until they are older, these tests arebecoming more popular. Many of these tests incorporate antibodiesthat specifically react with hormones found in a woman’s urine.What specific hormones could be measured in these tests, and howmight these tests actually work?

Over a period of two years, a man in his early 20s receiveda series of intermittent chemotherapy and radiotherapytreatments for Hodgkin disease. During this therapy, heand his wife were unable to initiate a pregnancy. The man had aseries of his semen samples examined at a fertility clinic. The findings revealed that shortly after each treatment very few mature sperm were present, and abnormal chromosome numbers were often observed in developing spermatocytes. However, such chromosome abnormalities disappeared about 40 days after treatment, and normal sperm reappeared about 74 days posttreatment. How might a genetic counselor explain the time-related differences in sperm production and the appearance and subsequent disappearance of chromosomal abnormalities?
