What is Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)?

Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is a sophisticated procedure used to identify genetic defects in embryos created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) before pregnancy. PGD helps couples at risk of passing on genetic disorders to their offspring to ensure the birth of healthy babies. The process involves screening embryos for specific genetic mutations or chromosomal abnormalities, thereby increasing the chances of a successful and healthy pregnancy.

The PGD Process

1. IVF Procedure: PGD starts with the standard IVF process. The woman’s ovaries are stimulated to produce multiple eggs, which are then retrieved and fertilized with the partner’s sperm in a laboratory.
2. Embryo Development: The fertilized eggs develop into embryos over the next few days.
3. Biopsy: On the third or fifth day of development, a few cells are carefully removed from each embryo for genetic testing.
4. Genetic Analysis: The extracted cells undergo genetic analysis to detect specific genetic disorders or chromosomal abnormalities.
5. Selection and Transfer: Healthy embryos free from genetic defects are selected for transfer into the woman’s uterus. The remaining healthy embryos can be frozen for future use.

Who Should Consider PGD?

PGD is particularly beneficial for:

• Couples with a family history of genetic disorders
• Carriers of genetic mutations such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia
• Women of advanced maternal age
• Couples with repeated IVF failures or recurrent miscarriages
• Those seeking to prevent the transmission of sex-linked disorders

Benefits of PGD

• Increased Success Rates: By selecting genetically healthy embryos, PGD increases the chances of a successful pregnancy and reduces the risk of miscarriage.
• Prevention of Genetic Disorders: PGD allows couples to avoid passing on serious genetic diseases to their children.
• Informed Decision-Making: Couples gain valuable information about their embryos, enabling them to make informed decisions regarding their fertility treatment.
