Pregnancy and Maternal Health Care

In a hospital near Paris was born the first genetically selected baby in France to avoid an incurable disease. This baby, whose gender has not been clarified, was born one month premature and ahead of schedule, so physicians should wait several days before a final decision on the success of the process.

In any case, his birth is a novelty in France because it represents the first application of preimplantation diagnosis system (DPI), based on genetic analysis and selection of embryos to circumvent any incurable diseases of genetic origin.

This procedure, approved in France for just over a year, allows parents carry the gene for a genetic disease “particularly grave and incurable” having a child completely free of this disease.
