Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)

PGD is a specialized procedure that allows embryos to be genetically analyzed before they are implanted in the uterus. This offers parents the opportunity to select embryos that do not carry certain genetic abnormalities, thereby minimizing the risk of transmitting hereditary diseases.

More About

Why Offer Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)?

1. Prevention of Genetic Diseases:
PGD is particularly useful for couples carrying hereditary genetic diseases. It makes it possible to identify embryos carrying genetic mutations and increase the chances of conceiving a healthy child.
2. Increased Success Rates:
By eliminating embryos carrying certain anomalies, PGD helps increase the success rates of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. This maximizes the chances of a successful pregnancy.
3. Emotional Support:
For couples who have experienced repeated IVF failures or those facing high genetic risks, PGD provides important emotional support by offering an advanced and personalized solution.

How is Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) carried out?

1. Ovarian Stimulation and Egg Collection:
The woman undergoes ovarian stimulation to produce several eggs. The eggs are then collected for in vitro fertilization.
2. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF):
The eggs are fertilized in the laboratory with the partner's sperm. Healthy embryos develop to the blastocyst stage.
3. Embryonic Biopsy:
A small biopsy is performed on each embryo to collect cells. These cells are then analyzed to detect possible genetic abnormalities.
4. Selection of Healthy Embryos:
Healthy embryos, free of genetic mutations, are selected for implantation into the woman's uterus.
5. Implementation and Monitoring:
The selected embryos are implanted in the uterus, and careful monitoring begins to confirm a successful pregnancy.
