PGS & PGD Screening

Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) and Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) are advanced genetic testing techniques performed on embryos before implantation to detect chromosomal abnormalities and inherited genetic disorders. These tests help select the healthiest embryos, increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy while reducing the risk of genetic diseases.

At DYU Advanced Fertility & Smart IVF Center, we offer state-of-the-art PGS and PGD screening as part of our comprehensive fertility treatments.

Who Needs PGS & PGD Screening?

• Couples with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss or miscarriage
• Individuals or couples who are carriers of genetic disorders
• Women of advanced maternal age (35 and older)
• Patients who have experienced multiple IVF failures
• Couples with a history of chromosomal abnormalities
• Families who want to screen for specific genetic conditions

Difference Between PGS & PGD

1. Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS)

• Also called PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy)
• Screens for chromosomal abnormalities (aneuploidy)
• Helps prevent conditions like Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, and Klinefelter syndrome
• Improves implantation success rates in IVF patients

2. Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)

• Also called PGT-M (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic/Single-Gene Disorders)
• Detects specific inherited genetic diseases
• Used for conditions like cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, thalassemia, and Huntington’s disease
• Ensures that only embryos free from the targeted genetic condition are transferred

The PGS & PGD Process

Step 1: IVF & Embryo Development

• Ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval
• Fertilization using IVF or ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)
• Embryos are cultured for five to six days until they reach the blastocyst stage

Step 2: Embryo Biopsy

• A few cells are carefully removed from the developing blastocyst
• The biopsy is sent to a specialized genetic testing lab for analysis

Step 3: Genetic Screening & Embryo Selection

• Chromosomally normal and disease-free embryos are identified
• Only the healthiest embryos are selected for transfer

Step 4: Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)

• The selected embryo is transferred into the uterus in an optimized cycle
• The pregnancy test is performed 10-14 days later to confirm implantation

Benefits of PGS & PGD Screening

• Increases implantation success rates
• Reduces risk of miscarriage by selecting healthy embryos
• Prevents genetic diseases in future children
• Improves IVF success for older women or those with multiple failed cycles
• Enhances family planning options (including gender selection when applicable)
