PREIMPLANTATION GENETICS

 

This propedure is essential for couples with repeated IVF failures, repeated abortions(habitual abortions) and aged couples.

The identification of Hereditary diseases when family history is elicited is very essential to avoid continuation of similar diseases further. For this purpose this modality is developing day by day worldwide including ours.

Here one of the 8 cells (Blastomere ) is aspirated using specific pipette used for PGD with the help of micromanipulator ( same equipment used for ICSI) . Then the single cell is subjected for genetic testing using their DNA chain to gain further informations. If the cell seems to be normal then the embryo is declared as fit ones to transfer in to uterus. Further research in this field is going on in our centre to release immense informations about mankind.
