Abstract
Premarital genetic screening (PGS) refers to the procedure whereby couples are tested for genetic abnormalities before marriage in order to determine the likelihood that their future children may inherit certain genetic conditions. This screening can lower the prevalence of genetic illnesses and assist potential parents in making educated reproductive decisions.
