Understanding your unique genetic makeup ahead of infertility treatment empowers informed choices for a flourishing family. Karyotyping, a vital genetic test at our center, plays a key role.
Think of it as a detailed map of your chromosomes that identifies potential numerical or structural disorders that may be the cause of infertility, recurrent miscarriages, or a previous child with a chromosomal disorder or congenital abnormalities.
Typically, a normal female karyotype is 46, XX, and a male's is 46, XY. Deviations might indicate potential abnormalities, and early detecting of potential disorders can shed light on explanations for fertility struggles. But worry not, our dedicated genetic counselors will guide you through your results, answering your questions and providing expert support throughout.
EIVFC offers comprehensive carrier screening, a vital tool for uncovering potential risks for inheritable genetic disorders. This test analyzes your genes for up to 2,200 conditions, including common ones like:
Carriers don't show symptoms, but understanding your genetic makeup allows informed decisions before pregnancy.
Recessive genetic disorders typically require both parents to be carriers. Identifying these through screening helps reduce the risk of passing them on to your child.
If the screening reveals potential concerns, our specialists can advise on the best preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-M) for selecting healthy embryos, increasing your chances of a successful and healthy pregnancy.
For couples with a family history of specific genetic disorders or chromosomal abnormalities, or those whose karyotyping or carrier screening revealed potential concerns, Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) offers a beacon of hope and peace of mind. This advanced technology helps ensure a brighter future for your family by minimizing the risk of passing on genetic conditions to your children.
EIVFC takes genetic testing to the next level with our comprehensive PGD options:
PGT-A: Identifies numerical chromosomal abnormalities, ensuring only embryos with the correct number of chromosomes are selected for implantation.
PGT-SR:Detects structural chromosomal abnormalities, preventing their transmission to your child.
PGT-M:Screens for single-gene disorders, allowing you to select genetically healthy embryos with the highest chance of a healthy future.
