Peace of Mind for Your IVF Journey Starts Here
When you’ve invested so much hope and emotion into your fertility treatment, the last thing you want is uncertainty about your embryo’s genetic health. Our Pre-implantation Genetic Disorder PGD testing provides the clarity and confidence you deserve, screening for inherited conditions before implantation to give your precious embryo the strongest possible foundation for growth.
Understanding Pre-implantation Genetic Disorder PGD Testing
PGD is a specialised genetic screening performed on embryos created through in vitro fertilisation (IVF). This advanced testing examines a small sample of cells from the embryo to detect specific genetic disorders that could affect your baby’s health. The crucial maternal DNA contamination check ensures that the results accurately reflect the embryo’s genetic makeup, not yours, providing the reliable information needed to select the healthiest embryo for transfer.
Using Sanger Sequencing methodology, our laboratory delivers precise, trustworthy results that your fertility specialist can use to make informed decisions about which embryo offers the best chance for a successful, healthy pregnancy.
Who Should Consider PGD Embryo Testing?
This test is particularly valuable for couples who:
- Have a family history of inherited genetic disorders
- Are carriers of genetic conditions like cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anaemia, or Huntington’s disease
- Have experienced previous pregnancy losses due to genetic factors
- Are of advanced maternal age (over 35) and want to screen for chromosomal abnormalities
- Have had previous IVF failures and want to improve success rates
- Want to reduce the risk of passing on known genetic conditions to their children
If you’re investing in IVF treatment in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, or anywhere in South Africa, PGD testing can provide the additional assurance that helps maximise your chances of a healthy baby.
Why PGD Testing Matters for Your Family’s Health
The benefits of pre-implantation genetic testing extend far beyond the laboratory:
- Increased Pregnancy Success: By selecting genetically normal embryos, you significantly improve implantation rates and reduce miscarriage risk
- Reduced Genetic Disorder Risk: Screen for hundreds of inherited conditions before pregnancy begins
- Emotional Peace of Mind: Move forward with confidence knowing you’ve taken every precaution for your baby’s health
- Informed Decision Making: Work with your fertility specialist to choose the healthiest embryo for transfer
- Cost Efficiency: Potentially avoid the emotional and financial costs of multiple IVF cycles
Understanding Your PGD Test Results
We know waiting for genetic test results can be anxiety-provoking. Our team provides clear, compassionate guidance:
Normal Results: Indicate the embryo does not carry the specific genetic disorders tested for, making it a strong candidate for transfer.
Affected Results: Show the embryo carries the genetic condition being screened, allowing you and your doctor to make informed decisions about embryo selection.
Inconclusive Results: Rare cases where retesting may be recommended for clarity.
Your fertility specialist will review all results with you, explaining what they mean for your specific situation and helping you plan the next steps in your treatment journey.
