Preimplanation Genetic Diagnosis - PGD

For couples considering IVF who are concerned about passing on an inherited genetic disease to their children, Preimplanation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is an excellent treatment option available to UCRM patients.

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) refers specifically to when one or both genetic parents has a known genetic abnormality and testing is performed on an embryo to see if it also carries a genetic abnormality. This allows couples choosing IVF to avoid passing on an inherited genetic disease to their children. The process is detailed but our infertility experts will guide you through each step of the process and answer any questions you may have.

Most couples seeking Preimplanation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) are aware of the genetic disorder and have already undergone testing to verify it. If testing is necessary to indentify a genetic disorder, we will work with you to set up an appointment with a genetic counselor and schedule the appropriate testing. In either case, once we have received the test results we will assist you in setting up an IVF/PGD consultation appointment with one of our fertility specialists to describe the process and discuss your options.
