“The advancement in genetics has greatly improved the success rates of IVF procedures. Through procedures like Pre-implantation Genetic Screening (PGS) and Pre-Implantation GeneticDiagnosis (PGD),embryos are screened and tested for abnormalities. Through research in the field, it was found that nature does not let chromosomally abnormal babies stick to the uterus, passing it down in the form of abortions or miscarriages,”says Dr Gautam Allahbadia, who also heads the IVF team at Millennium Medical Centre MMCIVF, Dubai.
He further explains, “With PGTAIVF, we can screen the embryos for all 24 chromosome pairs. We transfer the normal embryos into the uterus, which arethen expected to go to term ashealthy pregnancies, in the form of chromosomally normal offspring. This has proved to be a miracle for women who previously suffered the oddities of abnormal pregnancies.”
PGD procedure, on the other hand, was initially used to diagnose hereditary disorders like thalassemia or severe muscular dystrophies, and avoid their transfers. Through PGD the gene that carried the abnormality was identified and the affected embryo discarded, hence its primary purpose was to eliminate genetic disorders in the next generation. However, with the advent of NGS, over 400 diseases can be screened and normal embryos can be transferred, explains Dr Allahbadia....READ MORE……
