Pre-implantation Genetic Screening

With worldwide statistics showcasing a big surge in the number of babies born with a genetic disorder, Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis has gained a significant relevance in the world around in the recent times.

The PGS test at the center will help in tracking of any kind of chromosomal defects or genetic disability in the recently fertilized egg. This will further ensure the proper fertilization and development of the embryos and the birth of a healthy baby out of IVF or any kind of ART services.

PGS further enhance the chances of a successful pregnancy whilst identifying the healthy embryos prior to the fertilization process.

PGS/PGD is often recommended in the following cases: –

• Cases where one or both of the couple undergoing the infertility treatment is been diagnosed single gene mutations.

• When the age of the women under treatment is more than 35 years.
• Women going through recurring implantation failure or miscarriages.
