Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) at Vardhan Fertility Centre
Prevent Inherited Disorders with Advanced Embryo Genetic Screening
At Vardhan Fertility Centre, we offer Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) as part of our advanced IVF services to help families avoid passing on serious inherited diseases. PGD identifies specific genetic mutations in embryos before implantation, enabling couples with known genetic risks to conceive healthy children.
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is a specialized genetic test performed on embryos created through IVF. It detects single-gene disorders or chromosomal abnormalities prior to embryo transfer. Unlike PGT-A, which checks for chromosomal number, PGD targets specific inherited diseases such as:
- Thalassemia
- Cystic Fibrosis
- Sickle Cell Anemia
- Huntington’s Disease
- Tay-Sachs Disease
- Muscular Dystrophy
- Couples with a known family history of genetic disorders
- Carriers of recessive or dominant gene mutations
- Patients with repeated miscarriages due to genetic reasons
- Individuals with chromosomal translocations
- Those who have experienced failed IVF cycles due to embryo abnormalities
- IVF & Embryo Creation – Embryos are developed in the lab via IVF
- Embryo Biopsy – A few cells are taken from the embryo at the blastocyst stage (Day 5)
- Genetic Testing – DNA is analyzed to detect specific gene mutations
- Embryo Selection – Only healthy, mutation-free embryos are chosen
- Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) – Healthy embryo is transferred in a later cycle
- Access to advanced embryo biopsy & genetic labs
- Expertise in single-gene disorder diagnosis
- Seamless coordination between fertility and genetic specialists
- Improved pregnancy outcomes with reduced risk of genetic disease
- Confidential, compassionate, and legally compliant care
