-Preimplantation [[genetic]] [[diagnosis]] has been performed, for families with a known [[germline]] [[mutation]]. In this procedure, embryos are fertilized using standard [[IVF]] techniques and are then biopsied at the eight [[cell]] stage. Only those embryos found to be free of the familial [[mutation]] in the [[retinoblastoma]] [[gene]] are implanted, resulting in a live birth of a healthy child.<ref name="pmid14700639">{{cite journal| author=Xu K, Rosenwaks Z, Beaverson K, Cholst I, Veeck L, Abramson DH| title=Preimplantation genetic diagnosis for retinoblastoma: the first reported liveborn. | journal=Am J Ophthalmol | year= 2004 | volume= 137 | issue= 1 | pages= 18-23 | pmid=14700639 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=14700639  }} </ref>
