PGD (Preimplantation genetic diagnosis)

Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) – Ensuring a Healthy Future

Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is an advanced genetic testing procedure performed during IVF to detect specific inherited disorders in embryos before implantation. By identifying embryos free from genetic conditions, PGD helps ensure a healthy pregnancy. Manasi Clinic offers PGD as part of its specialized fertility care for couples planning a safe and healthy family.

What is Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)?

PGD is a genetic test on IVF embryos designed to detect single-gene disorders or hereditary diseases. Unlike PGS, which screens for general chromosomal abnormalities, PGD specifically targets known genetic conditions, making it ideal for couples with a family history of inherited disorders.

Who Should Consider PGD?

Are carriers of single-gene disorders like cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, or Tay-Sachs disease

Have a family history of genetic conditions

Have experienced recurrent miscarriages due to genetic abnormalities

Already have a child with a genetic disorder and wish to prevent recurrence

Are undergoing IVF and want to ensure their child is free from a genetic disease

The PGD Process

Ovarian Stimulation & Egg Retrieval

The IVF process begins with ovarian stimulation, followed by egg retrieval and fertilization in the laboratory.

Embryo Development

Embryos are cultured for several days until they reach the blastocyst stage.

Embryo Biopsy

A few cells are carefully removed from each embryo for genetic analysis.

Genetic Testing

Advanced genetic screening is performed to detect specific mutations or chromosomal abnormalities.

Embryo Selection & Transfer

Only embryos free from the identified genetic conditions are selected for implantation, increasing the chances of a healthy pregnancy.
