Résumé : |
Accès au résumé PubMed / to PubMed abstract Preimplantation genetic diagnosis is now well established and provided in many European countries. However, regulations, professional standards and accreditation requirements can differ notably. Furthermore, no comprehensive independent data exist for practice and provision in Europe or for quality assurance practices and procedures designed to optimise the quality of the results. This study gathered information from 53 centres offering preimplantation genetic diagnosis in 17 European countries. Although half of the centres have a designated quality manager, just 33% have achieved or are preparing for accreditation or certification. About 66% of the centres responded that they did not participate in external quality assessment, a problem exacerbated by the lack of existing specific schemes. Approximately 19% of the centres do not keep data on accuracy and 9% do not follow up until birth. This survey highlights that although these preimplantation genetic diagnosis centres are usually highly qualified, improvements could be made in terms of quality assurance (Orphanews Europe, 16 avril 2008) |
