The judges' comment

'This first-class team of scientists and clinicians has received international acclaim for developing a technique that allows more couples whose children would be at risk of genetic diseases to opt for unaffected pregnancies.

Pre-implantation genetic haplotyping reduces test time, improves reliability and spares unaffected males in sex-linked disorders'.
