Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a very early method of prenatal diagnosis which was designed for couples who are at risk of transmitting an inherited disease to their children.  The major advantage of PGD is for couples to avoid going through the stress of a termination or a miscarriage.

Chromosome abnormalities are a major category of genetic disease and account for a large proportion of reproductive wastage, congenital malformations and mental retardation. A chromosome abnormality reflects an abnormality of chromosome number or structure. This is where Pre-implantation Genetic Screening (PGS) is useful.

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis for Thalassemia & Sickle Cell

PGD can be used with a very high success in the prevention of Thalassemia and Sickle Cell affected babies. It is very important that couples have adequate genetic counselling before proceeding for this treatment.

PGD & PGS treatment can be offered by Mr. Shah and Mr. Gudi at the London Women’s Clinic.
