Preimplantation Genetic Disorder PGD Single Embryo Testing
Comprehensive Genetic Screening for IVF Success
Preimplantation Genetic Disorder (PGD) Single Embryo testing represents a groundbreaking advancement in reproductive medicine, offering couples undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) the opportunity to screen embryos for genetic abnormalities before implantation. This sophisticated diagnostic procedure plays a crucial role in identifying embryos with the highest potential for healthy development, significantly improving pregnancy success rates while reducing the risk of genetic disorders.
What Does PGD Single Embryo Testing Detect?
Our advanced PGD testing utilizes Sanger Sequencing technology to perform comprehensive genetic analysis on trophectoderm cells from individual embryos. The test specifically identifies:
- Chromosomal abnormalities including aneuploidies (extra or missing chromosomes)
- Single gene disorders such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and Huntington’s disease
- Structural chromosomal rearrangements including translocations and inversions
- X-linked genetic disorders that affect male offspring
- Mitochondrial DNA abnormalities affecting energy production
Who Should Consider PGD Single Embryo Testing?
This specialized genetic screening is particularly recommended for:
- Couples with known genetic disorders in family history
- Women aged 35 and older undergoing IVF treatment
- Couples experiencing recurrent pregnancy loss or implantation failure
- Individuals with balanced chromosomal translocations
- Couples requiring gender selection for medical reasons
- Patients with previous pregnancies affected by genetic conditions
- Couples seeking to maximize IVF success rates
Significant Benefits of PGD Testing
Choosing PGD Single Embryo testing provides numerous advantages for your fertility journey:
- Increased Pregnancy Rates: Transfer of genetically normal embryos improves implantation success
- Reduced Miscarriage Risk: Identification of chromosomally abnormal embryos decreases pregnancy loss
- Prevention of Genetic Disorders: Screening helps avoid transmission of inherited conditions
- Informed Decision Making: Provides crucial information for embryo selection
- Reduced Multiple Pregnancy Risk: Single embryo transfer becomes more viable
- Emotional Peace of Mind: Confidence in embryo quality reduces anxiety
Understanding Your PGD Test Results
Your comprehensive PGD report will provide clear, actionable information:
- Normal Results: Embryos showing no detectable genetic abnormalities are suitable for transfer
- Abnormal Results: Embryos with genetic issues are identified and typically not recommended for transfer
- Mosaic Embryos: Some embryos may show mixed cell lines requiring careful consideration
- Genetic Counseling: Our specialists provide detailed interpretation and next-step recommendations
