PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis)
Diagnosis of specific genetic disorders in embryos prior to transfer.
PGD Highlights
Focus on Health
Only embryos diagnosed as unaffected by the specific genetic mutation are selected for transfer.
- Precise cell biopsy
- High accuracy diagnosis
- Collaborative genetics
What is PGD?
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD), also known as PGT-M, is a specialized procedure for couples who carry a known genetic mutation for a specific condition. It allows for the testing of embryos to identify which ones are affected, carriers, or free from the condition.
Targeted Genetic Screening
PGD is used for single-gene disorders such as Cystic Fibrosis, Thalassemia, Sickle Cell Anemia, and many others. By identifying healthy embryos before transfer, we can prevent the transmission of heritable diseases to the next generation.
Technical Precision
Embryos are biopsied at the blastocyst stage and the cells are analyzed using highly specific genetic probes. Only embryos that are diagnosed as unaffected by the specific genetic mutation are selected for transfer.
