Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is a genetic screening procedure performed along with IVF. It is an advanced procedure that ensures the baby born out of IVF is free from inherited genetic conditions.
In conventional IVF procedures, matured embryos are visually inspected to choose the healthiest embryos available. But visual inspection is not enough to detect genetic abnormalities in the embryos, and this is where PGD can help.
Who benefits from Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)?
Even when the parents do not suffer from a specific genetic condition, they may act as carriers to pass on a gene which can potentially impact the child. PGD testing screens these potential conditions even before the baby is born, i.e. during the embryo transfer in the IVF journey. Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) helps in identifying the healthiest embryo to attempt pregnancy using IVF.
So every IVF journey is benefitted from this advanced genetic screening procedure. Our IVF specialists in Hyderabad particularly recommend PGD testing in Hyderabad in following cases:
- Woman with a previous history of miscarriage.
- Couples with high risk of passing a genetic disorder to the child.
- Men with a specific type of sperm abnormalities.
- History of IVF failures.
- Women with age above 35 years.
- Prior cases of pregnancy with an instance of chromosomal abnormalities.
- Advanced paternal age (>40).
