Genetics

An important role in the study of genetic causes of infertility belongs to molecular diagnostic methods, which make it possible to identify DNA mutations in patients.

Molecular testing is carried out at different stages of the body’s development:

postnatal diagnostics of children and adults – to establish or verify a diagnosis, analysis for asymptomatic presence of mutations, genetic predisposition to developing diseases. Material used: peripheral blood leukocytes;
preimplantation diagnostics (PGD) – with the aim of selecting an embryo that has not inherited a genetic defect from its parents. Material used: embryo blastomere, cells of the embryonic trophectodermal membrane.

A geneticist will help you decide on the need and scope of genetic testing; he will give you all the information about the specifics of diagnostics and treatment of a particular pathology. Preimplantation genetic testing of embryos.
Currently, PGS is the only test that can determine whether an embryo contains the required number of chromosomes before transferring it into the uterine cavity.
PGS reduces the risk of unsuccessful implantation, early miscarriage, and the birth of a child with a chromosomal pathology and increases the chances of a healthy pregnancy.
