The Importance of Genetic Testing in IVF: Understanding PGS and PGD
In the United States, genetic testing is a crucial step in the IVF process, typically performed before embryo implantation. Two key types of genetic testing are Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) and Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD). These techniques not only enhance the chances of a successful pregnancy and the birth of a healthy baby but also effectively prevent the transmission of single-gene hereditary diseases, ensuring the health of the next generation.
Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS/PGT-A)
PGS is an early prenatal screening method that analyzes embryos for chromosomal abnormalities. This screening assesses whether the chromosomes in the embryo are complete and if there are any extra or missing chromosomes. PGS is particularly beneficial for older couples, those who have experienced multiple IVF failures or miscarriages, and individuals seeking to improve their IVF pregnancy rates.
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD/PGT-M)
PGD is a targeted diagnostic technique. For example, if one or both parents carry genes for conditions such as thalassemia or hemophilia, PGD can specifically diagnose which embryos carry the genetic mutation and which do not. This allows for the selection of embryos free from hereditary diseases for implantation, thereby preventing the transfer of the same genetic conditions from parents to offspring.
