That's done in basically every IVF clinic in the United States.
They will actually screen embryos, the genetics of the embryos, to see if they have some sort of severe chromosomal abnormality.
What we do is we basically provide more information on the embryos.
So we also read the DNA, but now we give information on things like other hereditary disease risk, also chronic diseases, things like cancers, Alzheimer's, diabetes, also traits like IQ or height, et cetera.
So to be clear, we're not changing any DNA.
There's this process in IVF where you make embryos already.
Genetic testing is done in embryos.
What we do now is we provide you a little bit more information on your embryos.
So basically that information can be used, then implant which embryo the couple deems to be best.
So basically give more information to couples to then choose which embryo they want to implant.
So I think it's helpful to think about all these different characteristics from diseases to traits, right?
People know intuitively something like height, for example, right?
Height, they say, oh, that's genetic.
Or something like breast cancer.
Eye color.
these things people intuitively know are genetic.
And so you can actually basically take these different phenotypes and measure how genetic any phenotype is.
So what does it actually mean?
The most simple way of explaining it is imagine you took two identical twins, so they have the same DNA, right?
And then basically you separated the twins, they grew up in different environments.
