ORM’s Dr. Bankowski and ORM Genomics Director, Emily Mounts, discuss genetic carrier screening and how PGD can eliminate the transmission of genetic diseases in this Portland Monthly Magazine article, “Is OHSU Ushering in the Era of Designer Babies?“.
“We’re able to eliminate the transmission of nearly all the genetic diseases we come across through the current technology. But we have to know that they’re there,” says Dr. Brandon Bankowski of Goose Hollow’s Oregon Reproductive Medicine, a fertility and surrogacy center that increasingly works with people who want to avoid passing genetic conditions on to their children.
