Service Overview:
PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening) and PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis) are advanced genetic testing techniques used during IVF to analyze embryos before implantation. These tests help in selecting chromosomally normal and genetically healthy embryos, increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby.

These methods are especially useful for couples with a history of miscarriages, failed IVF attempts, genetic disorders, or advanced maternal age.

What is PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening)?

PGS involves checking embryos for chromosomal abnormalities such as:

• Extra or missing chromosomes (e.g., Down syndrome – Trisomy 21)

• Abnormal number of chromosomes (aneuploidy)

• Helps select embryos with the correct number of chromosomes

It is ideal for couples who:

• Have experienced repeated IVF failures

• Have a history of recurrent miscarriages

• Are of advanced maternal age (35+ years)

• Want to increase IVF success with healthy embryos

What is PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis)?

PGD is used to detect specific inherited genetic conditions in embryos, such as:

• Thalassemia

• Cystic fibrosis

• Muscular dystrophy

• Sickle cell anemia

• Hemophilia

• Other single-gene disorders

It is recommended for couples who:

• Are known carriers of genetic diseases

• Have a child affected by a genetic condition

• Want to prevent transmission of inherited disorders

How Are PGS and PGD Performed?

1. IVF Cycle: Eggs are fertilized in the lab to create embryos.

2. Embryo Biopsy: On Day 5 (blastocyst stage), a few cells are gently removed from each embryo.

3. Genetic Testing: The cells are analyzed using advanced genetic technology.

4. Embryo Selection: Only genetically healthy embryos are selected for transfer or freezing.

5. Embryo Transfer: A healthy embryo is transferred into the uterus to begin pregnancy.

Benefits of PGS/PGD:

• Increases chances of a healthy baby

• Reduces risk of genetic disease transmission

• Minimizes risk of miscarriage

• Helps in personalized embryo selection

• Reduces the emotional and financial burden of failed IVF cycles
