Protect Your Future Family from Inherited Genetic Disorders
As parents planning your family, the thought of passing on genetic conditions can be overwhelming. Our Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) testing provides the reassurance and control you need to ensure your children inherit only the best of you. For South African families facing known genetic disorders, this advanced screening represents hope, certainty, and the opportunity to break the cycle of inherited conditions.
Understanding Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)
PGD is a specialised genetic testing procedure performed on embryos created through in vitro fertilisation (IVF) before they are implanted in the uterus. This revolutionary technology screens for specific single gene disorders where the genetic mutation is already known in your family. Using advanced Sanger Sequencing methodology, we analyse embryos to identify those free from the inherited condition, allowing your fertility specialist to select only healthy embryos for transfer.
This isn’t just testing – it’s proactive family planning that gives you the power to prevent genetic disorders before pregnancy even begins.
Who Should Consider PGD Testing?
This test is specifically designed for South African couples and individuals who:
- Have a family history of known single gene disorders (like cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anaemia, or Huntington’s disease)
- Are carriers of genetic conditions and want to prevent passing them to children
- Have previously had a child affected by a genetic disorder
- Are undergoing IVF treatment and want to ensure embryo health
- Want the peace of mind that comes with knowing their embryos are free from specific genetic conditions
If you’re planning your family and have concerns about inherited conditions, PGD testing provides the answers and assurance you need.
