Genetic Testing PGD

Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis - Testing

 

IVF is a very versatile process. Most people think that IVF is a process where an ovum and sperm are brought together, and after the formation of a zygote, they implant it in the female body. This can be considered as the crux of the main process; however, the story of IVF is far beyond this! When a couple goes for an IVF implantation, the process begins at a much earlier level. Most of the auxiliary processes like genetic testing are an attempt to make the pregnancy miscarriage-proof. Sensible IVF experts often see things in totality. IVF is an advanced science now; with new breakthroughs coming in every day.

What Is PGD?
Popularly known as PGD (Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis), this is an advanced technique to test embryos to know their genetic condition or chromosome abnormalities. This testing is important as it ensures that a chromosomally-normal embryo is passing on for the next stage of IVF. If an embryo is free from any such chromosomal abnormalities, then it increases the chances of successful delivery. Post IVF, the first three months are very crucial; PGD identifies certain obstacles that can be dangerous for an embryo during the first three months and during the course of the next two trimesters.
Problems Detected with the Help of PGD

IVF experts go for PGD as they want to check the survival possibilities of an embryo during the first three months. With the help of ART and other procedures, preparing an embryo is possible. With the help of PGD, these experts generate a lead and work in this direction where they can ensure safety for a weak embryo suffering from chromosomal abnormalities.

Scope of PGD
PGD brings in advanced reports for the experts where they can go for advanced medications and other procedures. When we check out the scope of a PGD treatment in its general terms, we find that it can easily detect carriers of sex-linked genetic disorders. For instance, many experts can identify problems like Hemophilia and Fragile X Syndrome with the help of these tests. With the help of PGD, we can detect all the carriers of single-gene disorders and correct them with the help of expert intervention. It can also give us some leads on chromosomal disorders.
What Is Fallopian Tube Blockage?

Any expert going for an IVF treatment has strong reasons to go for PGD. The case history of a woman sometimes forces the test on her even before the medical expert plans an IVF.

Conditions That Can Be Detected with the Help of PGD
PGD deals with genetic disorders; it helps an expert in figuring out possible combinations after going through genetic screening of various conditions. For instance, they can discover the condition where both the partners are carrying a single-gene mutation and don’t want to pass it on to the next generation. It can also figure out translocation arrangement in genetically abnormal sperms. When an expert finds the cases of recurrent miscarriages or repeated IVF failures for more than five times; then genetic testing pregnancy becomes very important. Even after successful IVF procedures, a big percentage of pregnancies do not last even for the initial three months.
What Is a Paternity Test, and How It Is Different from PGD?
Paternity testing is a genetic test. A genetic test is a vast word; right now, many types of genetic tests are available; some are even detecting advanced diseases with the help of these genetic tests. Similarly, many other problems can be detected first-hand, and test reports can give interesting leads to an expert that can help them in treatment. Currently, most of the tests are giving away good leads; soon, genetic engineering will be able to remove many problems or diseases at the stage of the inception of the embryo.
PGD is a set of tests that deals with Pre-Natal conditions; a PGD can give an idea about the condition of an embryo and its chances of survival. PGD is a small chapter in the vast book of genetic tests, which holds a lot of importance to IVF experts and infertility experts.
