What is PGD/PGS?
Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) and Pre-implantation Genetic Screening (PGS) are advanced technologies used in modern infertility treatment. These techniques help detect genetic abnormalities in embryos before pregnancy begins, ensuring a healthier outcome for future parents.
Genetic Disorders
Genetic diseases have become increasingly common and can bring significant emotional, psychological, and financial stress to families. For many parents, discovering that their newborn is affected by a genetic condition can be deeply traumatic. Individuals who already carry genetic disorders also worry about passing them on to their children.
In the past, doctors could only diagnose such conditions once the woman was already pregnant, often leaving termination of pregnancy as the only option. Interventions during pregnancy are limited and can create immense mental stress for expecting parents.
Today, advanced genetic services such as Pre-implantation Genetic Testing (PGT) and Genetic Carrier Screening allow couples to prevent the transmission of genetic disorders to their children. These breakthrough technologies offer immense relief to parents by ensuring healthier future generations.
How It Is Done
Couples undergo an IVF (test-tube baby) procedure, after which the embryos formed are tested for genetic abnormalities. Only the healthy embryos are selected and transferred into the mother’s uterus. The pregnancy then continues naturally, just like any other pregnancy.
Which Genetic Diseases Can Be Prevented?
PGT helps prevent a wide range of genetic conditions, including:
- Down’s Syndrome
- Thalassemia
- Hemophilia
- Cystic Fibrosis
- Sickle Cell Anemia
- Myotonic Dystrophy
- Spinal Muscular Atrophy
- And many other single-gene disorders
