Through Bnoon Medical Center, numerous pre implantation genetic screening (PGS) and diagnosis (PGD) are now possible. Women suffering multiple miscarriages, failed IVF cycles or couples who are at risk of passing inherited genetic diseases to their children can benefit from the new advances in genetic testing.

 

Through Pre implantation Genetics Testing, Bnoon Medical Center helps patients to achieve their goal of having a healthy baby.

 

While some IVF patients can benefit from PGS, which is a chromosomal screening test, it is offered to the following patient groups:

 

• Recurrent Miscarriage.

• Advanced Maternal Age

• Male Infertility

• Repeated IVF Failure

• Chromosomal Structural Abnormalities: Translocations, Inversions and Deletions.

 

PGD, which is genetic testing, is offered to couples who are at risk for passing on inherited genetic disease to their offspring.

 

PGS/PGD is performed as a part of an In Vitro Fertilization cycle where multiple eggs are produced, retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized with the husband's sperm in the Embryology Laboratory. IVF gives us access to embryo(s) in vitro. PGS/PGD is then performed by removing one or two cells from each embryo through a procedure called embryo biopsy. These cells are analyzed for the presence of genetic disorders and/or chromosomal abnormalities. This sophisticated and technologically advanced testing attempts to identify embryos which are free of abnormalities and more able to achieve the patient's goal of a healthy baby.
