Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)

Sometimes, babies can be born with a genetic condition inherited from either parent. With advances in the field of fertility medicine, detecting an inherited disease before pregnancy is becoming a more precise science. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a treatment that allows us to check the genes or chromosomes of the embryo for a specific genetic condition and reduce the risk of passing it on to the baby. Approximately 600 genetic conditions can be detected through PGD. This treatment is also known as preimplantation genetic testing for monogenetic disease and offers a valuable alternative to more invasive conventional prenatal diagnosis.

At Birla Fertility & IVF, we offer a comprehensive range of genetic testing including preimplantation genetic diagnosis and preimplantation genetic screening for optimal results.
