Dr. Ashraf Sabry provides Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) as part of advanced IVF treatment. This technique helps identify genetic or chromosomal disorders in embryos before pregnancy, ensuring a healthy baby and successful outcome. Dr. Ashraf performs PGD under international fertility and genetics standards, offering accuracy and safety for all couples.
What Is PGD?
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is a laboratory test used to analyze embryos created through IVF before they are transferred into the uterus. It screens for chromosomal abnormalities or inherited diseases, helping to prevent their transmission to the baby. Consequently, only healthy embryos are selected for transfer, ensuring both medical safety and peace of mind for parents.
When Is PGD Recommended?
- When one or both partners carry a known genetic or chromosomal disorder.
- In cases of recurrent miscarriage or failed IVF cycles due to genetic factors.
- For couples of advanced maternal age where chromosomal errors are more common.
- To ensure the transfer of healthy embryos during Gender Selection or family planning cases.
How PGD Is Performed
After fertilization, embryos are cultured for five days until they reach the blastocyst stage. Then, a few cells are gently removed from each embryo for genetic testing using advanced molecular techniques. The analysis identifies chromosomal and gene-level defects without harming the embryo. Afterwards, only normal and healthy embryos are transferred to the uterus to achieve a safe pregnancy.
Benefits of PGD
- Ensures the transfer of genetically healthy embryos only.
- Prevents hereditary and chromosomal disorders in offspring.
- Improves implantation and pregnancy rates in IVF.
- Reduces risk of miscarriage caused by abnormal embryos.
- Supports informed family planning for high-risk couples.
