  • PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening):
    This procedure evaluates embryos for chromosomal abnormalities, ensuring they have the correct number of chromosomes (euploidy). PGS improves the chances of successful implantation and reduces the risk of miscarriage.

  • PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis):
    PGD is used to identify specific genetic disorders or inherited conditions in embryos. This is particularly beneficial for couples with a known family history of genetic diseases or those carrying specific genetic mutations.

Why Choose PGS/PGD?

PGS and PGD are highly recommended for:

  • Couples experiencing repeated IVF failures or miscarriages.
  • Women of advanced maternal age (typically over 35).
  • Couples with a family history of genetic disorders, such as cystic fibrosis, thalassemia, or Huntington’s disease.
  • Individuals who are carriers of chromosomal translocations.
  • Couples seeking to prevent sex-linked genetic conditions.
  • Parents looking to enhance their chances of a healthy and successful pregnancy.
