There are multiple areas at which one could study about preimplantation genetic diagnosis. The National Centre for Biotechnology Information being one of them.
The first period of prenatal development is the germinal stage, which lasts for the first two weeks after conception. During this stage, the fertilized egg, or zygote, undergoes rapid cell division and eventually forms a blastocyst. The blastocyst implants itself into the uterine wall, marking the end of the germinal stage.
"Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis, also known as genetic testing,is a procedure performed on embryos to determine the possibility of the baby developing inherited genetic disorders and diseases."

"procedures that are performed on embryos prior to implantation, sometimes even on oocytes prior to fertilization. PGD is considered another way to prenatal diagnosis. When used to screen for a specific genetic disease, its main advantage is that it avoids selective pregnancy termination as the method makes it highly likely that the baby will be free of the disease under consideration"

Genetic counseling is important in SMA, since prenatal and preimplantation genetic diagnoses offer the parents the possibility to prevent the disease.

In families where there has been one child born with WAS, prenatal testing should be offered in subsequent pregnancies.
