Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis

There is a likelihood that a baby can be born with a genetic condition inherited from either parent. Thanks to the ever going advancements made in the field of fertility medicine, it is now possible to detect an inherited disease before pregnancy. Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a treatment which has the ability to check the genes or chromosomes of the embryo for a specific genetic condition. As a result, these early detections reduce the risk of any genetic condition getting passed on to the baby. Approximately 600 genetic conditions can be detected through PGD. This treatment is also known as pre-implantation genetic testing for monogenetic disease and offers a valuable alternative to more invasive conventional prenatal diagnosis. Popular IVF offers a comprehensive range of genetic testing including pre-implantation genetic diagnosis and preimplantation genetic screening for optimal results.
