Preimplantation Genetic Screening and Diagnosis

Dr. John Park describes the process of Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) and Screening (PGS) at Carolina Conceptions in Raleigh, NC. Embryo biopsy coupled with IVF is a useful tool to improve success rates, reduce the risk of miscarriage and reduce the risk inherited genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy or muscular dystrophy. The physicians at Carolina Conceptions can help you determine if this treatment is right for you.
Carolina Conceptions provides the latest in assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), ICSI, preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), preimplantation genetic screening (PGS), blastocyst culture, blastocyst biopsy (trophectoderm biopsy), egg donation, donor sperm insemination, embryo, sperm and egg cryopreservation, ovulation induction and intrauterine insemination (IUI). We treat patients with infertility problems due to endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), male factor, fallopian tube obstruction, uterine fibroids and age related issues. We also treat patients who are carriers of genetic mutations who wish to prevent passing them on to their offspring.

Last year I had my first embryo transfer but it didn't work out and I got really depressed but I went to Ingenes in Mexico and they offered me an ICSI, it have an 96% of probability of get a pregnat also they offered me a PGD that helps to diagnose abnormalities in the embryi and have the security of bringing a healthy baby. Now i'm waiting a beautiful little girl.

PGD can screen for cystic fibrosis, Tay Sachs, and muscular dystrophy. The number of diseases that can be screened is wide and covers over fifty disorders. On the other hand, fertility doctors at Bio tex use PGS to screen for abnormalities when neither parent has a genetic abnormality. Unlike PGD, doctors can use PGS as a broader screening. When fertility doctors use PGS testing, they look for the number of chromosomes. PGS can detect Down syndrome. PGD and PGS make sense for women and couples who have genetic diseases, or for whose future children are at risk of inheriting one. Specially, parents who do not want to risk passing on a genetic disorder benefit. For some women and couples, even if they do not have genetic abnormalities, PGD and PGS may provide benefit. Age, specific fertility issues, family history, and current health conditions may all be considered risk factors. PGD and PGS offers several benefits to those who choose to include it in their IVF cycle. First and foremost, both can reduce the risk of passing on genetic abnormalities to babies conceived with IVF. Couples going through IVF often have to go to great lengths just to become pregnant. Losing a pregnancy due to an inherited abnormality could be devastating. While PGD and PGS are not 100% guaranteed, they do reduce the risk.

Preimplantation Genetic Screening and Diagnosis do not work, STOP;do not waste your money; American Reproductive Association finds out that PGS is useless.
