Genetic Diagnosis
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis/screening (PGD/PGS) is a diagnostic procedure used in IVF treatment, in cases where there is a risk of developing the genetic disorders by the fetus.
ISIDA clinic was one of the the first in Ukraine to introduce an ultra-precise method of preimplantation genetic screening – the NGS method that allows one to detect any chromosome aberration or genetic disease caused by a known gene mutation. A distinctive feature of the NGS method is its high accuracy and certainty in detecting genetic anomalies.
NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) improves considerably the efficiency of IVF as even before embryo implantation, it allows detecting all the known chromosomal pathologies which approx. in 50% cases form the reason of the pregnancy failure during IVF program.
How do we perform NGS diagnostics
On the fifth day after fertilization of the embryo, it starts differentiating into intracellular mass which forms basis of the future fetus and into the external layer cells – trophectoderm that will participate in the embryo implantation into uterine cavity and will form fetal part of placenta.
For NGS analysis we take several trophectoderm cells, using highly precise tools. The possibility to damage the embryo in this moment is extremely low.
The cells taken for analysis will be checked with NGS method for genetic or\and chromosomal anomalies. The process is highly precise and allows to detect any genetic decease related to any known genetic decease. The result of the diagnostics with NGS method is 99,9% precise.
While waiting for the analysis results, the embryos are frozen by vitrification, the transfer of the diagnosed embryos shall be done in cryo-cycle preventing the risk of hyper-stimulation. This also improves the efficiency of the embryos implantation into uterine cavity.
PGD/PGS is highly recommended:
- if the mother is over the age of 35;
- in case of recurrent miscarriage;
- if there was a pregnancy with fetal chromosomal abnormalities in the past;
- in cases of several unsuccessful IVF attempts;
- in cases where one of the parents has chromosome translocations.
PGD\PGS analysis by NGS allows selecting a chromosomally normal embryo before implantation.
In addition, PGS allows determining the sex of the future baby.
Reviews
I would like to thank the entire staff of the Isida clinic who helped me give birth to a wonderful little girl. The remote monitoring was perfect and the reception on site was excellent. I immediately felt reassured in this clinic, which was not the case in France, Spain or Russia. Dr. Inna Moroz was able to explain the treatment to me clearly and took into account both my health and that of the baby. The team was always able to reassure me in the face of my anxieties. I’ll come back next year for my second child. I would recommend without hesitation the Isida clinic which allowed me to realize my dream of becoming a mother from the first attempt! Many thanks and bravo for your expertise and your kindness!
