Part IV-Conclusion Suzanne and David did undergo two cycles of PGD. In the first cycle, the two embryos tested were found to have the mutated APP genes. In the second cycle, four unaffected embryos were put into Suzanne's uterus and one of those embryos successfully implanted. Genetic testing of this fetus through chorionic villi sampling at week 10 of the pregnancy confirmed that the baby did not have the APP mutation. Suzanne gave birth to a healthy baby girl in 2000. Questions 1. What are typical IVF success rates? Please explain. 2. Do insurance companies typically pay for IVF? Why or why not? Are there some "conditions" that are covered and others that are not? 3. What is chorionic villi sampling (cvs)? How is it generally accomplished? How does cvs compare to amniocentesis as a form of obtaining fetal genetic information? Are there risks involved in either of these testing types? 4. What are possible next steps for this family? What strategies/agencies, etc., will they need to help them cope?
