PGD Test

History of PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis) Test

When we look at the history of Genetic Screening Test (PGD) over the past few years, developing techniques have enabled us to recognize various permanent illnesses. After the creation of the Human Genetic Map, general knowledge is rapidly developing. It has been discovered that humans have 45 chromosomes and 90,000 genes.

The illness Cystic Fibrosis is widespread over Western Europe and can consist of 500 various mutations. Couples that have recurring miscarriages are often tested for Cystic Fibrosis. We reveal which partner carries these illnesses via embryos that have been formed and have had a biopsy performed on them. Couples can have this screening to isolate the specific mutations of up to 1400 genetic conditions.

 

Why is Genetic Screening or PGD Important?PGD Test

During Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD), we examine DNA and its chemical database. The changes (mutations) in the DNA may cause illness or disease, and enables us to detect them. After 40 years of age for a female, it is more likely for the eggs to develop illness or disease. You may view our article, Age Factor for more information.

 

Is Genetic Screening or PGD 100% Reliable?

Genetic Screening Test (PGD) is crucial for diagnosis and treatment. However, there is always a possibility for a healthy embryo to develop an illness; or vice versa.
