Genetic diagnostics
Genetic diagnostics of future parents, preimplantation embryo screening and fetal genetic testing performed at the Ivymed clinic help to increase the chances of a successful pregnancy and the birth of a healthy child.
In addition, genetic diagnostics can determine the causes of infertility, identify chromosomal and hereditary diseases in parents that can be transmitted to the child.
During IVF, it helps to identify embryo pathologies before implantation in order to select the most promising embryo for transfer to the uterus and, thereby, increase the chances of a successful pregnancy and the birth of a healthy child.
Indications for use
Women:
- age from 37 years;
- if there were miscarriages in the first trimester of pregnancy;
- if you have been treated with drugs that can affect the reproductive system before planning a pregnancy;
- if there was a frozen pregnancy, unsuccessful IVF attempts.
Men:
In case of severe disorders of spermatogenesis:
- oligosperm;
- asthenospermia;
- teratozoospermia;
- azoospermia.
Both partners:
infertility, chromosomal abnormalities, experience in hazardous industries. Genetic diagnostics is also required if one of the partners has previously had a child with a chromosomal abnormality.
Types of genetic diagnostics
Karyotyping
Detection of abnormalities in the structure and number of chromosomes
Oncogenetics
Diagnosis of hereditary predisposition to cancer
Molecular genetic research
Detecting genetic mutations, determining the risk of developing diseases
HLA - histocompatibility
Compatibility of future parents by antigens
Prenatal non-invasive fetal diagnostics (NIPT)
Determination of aneuploidies at an early stage of pregnancy (starting from 9 weeks). The material for the study is the blood of a pregnant woman.
Prenatal invasive fetal diagnostics
Examination of biological material – fetal skin cells (fetal fibroblasts)
for analysis of chromosomal and genetic diseases in the fetus
WES whole-exome sequencing (prenatal diagnosis)
Whole-genome sequencing is a method that allows you to study mutations in human genes.
The goal of a complete exome sequencing (exome is the “coding” part of the genome) is to try to find the genetic cause of the signs and symptoms you or your child have.
FISH
Fluorescence in situ hybridization. This is a quantitative research method for determining abnormalities in the number of chromosomes (sex chromosomes X and Y, chromosomes 13, 18, 21).
Allows you to determine the sex of the embryo.
CGH
Comparative genomic hybridization. Provides an opportunity to analyze the full set of embryo chromosomes
PCR
Polymerase chain reaction. Helps to diagnose monogenic pathology, select the embryo by HLA genotype, determine the Rh factor of the embryo
NGS
Genome sequencing of the “new” generation. It provides information on the set of chromosomes, reveals karyotype imbalances, which will help to identify serious genetic abnormalities
Genetic testing of the aborted material (karyotyping and FISH analysis) will help determine the causes of pregnancy pathologies.
