yes preimplantation diagnosis of embryos in IVF can look into your embryos and find out if they carry the same disease or not.. to start your boyfriend should have a genetic test to detect the exact genetic mutation that caused him the illness.. after detecting his mutation you should undergo an IVF cycle.. after obtaining the embryos, they are tested to see if they carry this mutation or not.. normal embryos are transferred to your uterus while abnormal ones are discarded.. the most famous lab that undergo genetic testing for embryos is Igenomix..look them up on google
Note: For detailed guidance on genetic screening consult a genetics specialist
