Preimplantation Genetic Testing at the Medpark Center for Reproductive Medicine is an advanced way of evaluating the embryo’s genetic material before implantation. This procedure offers numerous advantages and plays a crucial role in ensuring a healthy conception and a successful pregnancy.
Advantages of embryo genetic testing
First, genetic testing of the embryo allows for the detection and identification of any chromosomal or genetic abnormalities that may be inherited or that may occur spontaneously. Thus, couples facing a family history of genetic diseases or who have had previous pregnancies with chromosomal malformations can benefit from this test to reduce the risk of transmitting the conditions to the future child.
Selection of embryos for implantation
Another major advantage is the selection of embryos for implantation. This allows the identification of embryos that have the greatest potential to develop into a normal pregnancy and lead to the birth of a healthy baby. Choosing a healthy embryo reduces the risk of miscarriage, failed conception attempts, or giving birth to a child with serious genetic or chromosomal conditions.
Reducing the risks associated with genetic and chromosomal conditions
The importance of embryo genetic testing lies in the possibility of giving couples the opportunity to make informed decisions regarding the fertility and health of their future child. This helps reduce the risks associated with genetic and chromosomal conditions and increases the chances of having a healthy pregnancy and giving birth to a child without hereditary conditions.
Genetic testing of embryos may be recommended in the following situations:
- Women over the age of 37, as they have a higher risk of genetic abnormalities in embryos.
- Couples who are at risk of having a child with an inherited genetic disease.
- Women who have had recurrent miscarriages, as these may be associated with chromosomal abnormalities.
- Patients who have had failures in previous in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures.
- Infertile couples in which the male factor is severely affected.
Medpark Center for Reproductive Medicine has state-of-the-art technology and a medical staff specialized in embryo genetic testing. Our team provides couples with the necessary support at all stages of the process, from embryo cell sampling to genetic analysis and interpretation of results.
