PGD, What Is It?

Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is an advanced process of doing a thorough genetic check up of your fertilized 2-3 day old embryo before implanting it in your uterus to see if any hereditary genetic conditions have been passed on from the parents to the would be baby.

How Does PGD Work?

The Steps that Lead Up To fertilisation are the same as any ivf procedure. Then as usual the egg is allowed to fertilize with the sperm. Following that -

• One or two cells are removed from the embryo.
• The genetic make up of the embryo is studied to see if it contains the gene that matches with the problem causing gene in the family.
• If unaffected the embryo is transferred into the uterus to let our develop.
