GENE TESTS INCREASE SUCCESS RATE IN IVF
Couples with genetic diseases postpone the thought of having a child for fear that they will not be able to have healthy children. However, advances in developing technology and medicine allow all problems that may occur during and after pregnancy to be detected in advance. In this context, pre-transfer genetic diagnosis (PGD) in IVF treatment offers the opportunity to have healthy babies to couples who do not have problems with conception but are carriers of genetic diseases. Turkey Medicals member and JCI hospital IVF department and Obstetricians and Gynecologists Prof. Doctor, “Although there are no health problems in the expectant mother and father, irregularities in the chromosome and genetic structures can sometimes be observed at the cellular level. Since this condition affects the embryo that will be formed, it is necessary to apply IVF treatment with a genetic diagnosis to such patients,” he said.
Choosing the right embryo in the IVF treatment process in Turkey is important for a healthy treatment process. For this reason, choosing the embryo with the best health status and the highest chance of holding on is determined by the Preimplantation Genetic Test. Especially for couples at risk of single gene disease i.e. hemophilia, cystic fibrosis, common cell anemia, emphasizing that PGD should be administered to Obstetricians and Gynecologists Prof. Dr. ‘”PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis) allows the study of the genetic structure of embryos formed during IVF treatment before they are transferred to the uterus. In this way, the chance of IVF success increases while reducing the risk of miscarriage of pregnancy. It also reduces the need for medical termination of pregnancy and prevents unhealthy pregnancy,” he said.

WHAT IS PREIMPLANTATION GENETIC DIAGNOSIS (PGD)?
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is performed to diagnose whether the embryo is normal in terms of the chromosomes being examined and genetic diseases. After laboratory fertilization of eggs, this method is used in the treatment of in vitro fertilization. Genetic testing is performed on quality embryos that have reached the day. This test gives information about whether the embryo is carrying any genetic diseases or is chromosomally normal.
.
HOW IS PGD DONE?
Obtained by IVF before pregnancy occurs and a cell sample is taken from the embryo per day. One or two cell biopsies are taken from embryos and chromosomal tests are performed. Embryos that have been biopsied are followed up. The process is completed by transferring healthy embryos that do not have any problems to the mother’s uterus.
