Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis PGD
We offer advanced Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) to help couples reduce the risk of passing on inherited genetic disorders. PGD is a specialized technique performed alongside IVF to screen embryos for specific genetic conditions before implantation.
This service is recommended for couples with a family history of genetic diseases, carriers of inherited disorders, or couples who have experienced recurrent miscarriages. Our specialists use modern laboratory technology to carefully analyze embryos and select those free from targeted genetic conditions.
PGD provides couples with greater confidence in achieving a healthy pregnancy while minimizing the risk of genetic complications.
Treatment Process
PGD is integrated into the IVF process. After fertilization, embryos are allowed to develop for several days in the laboratory. At the appropriate stage, a few cells are carefully removed from each embryo for genetic analysis.
The embryos are then tested for the specific genetic conditions identified for the couple. The healthiest embryo, free from these conditions, is selected for transfer into the uterus, significantly improving the chances of a successful and healthy pregnancy.
Why is PGD Important?
PGD plays a critical role in reducing the risk of genetic disorders and recurrent pregnancy loss. By allowing genetic screening before implantation, it helps couples make informed decisions about embryo selection and enhances the likelihood of a healthy pregnancy.
This advanced technology offers reassurance for couples with known genetic risks and supports personalized fertility treatment planning.
