Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) in Jaipur

Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) in Jaipur

At ISHWA IVF, the best fertility centre in Jaipur, we offer comprehensive Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) to help couples make informed decisions during their fertility journey. PGS includes advanced testing options like Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies (PGT-A), Monogenic Disorders (PGT-M), and Structural Rearrangements (PGT-SR). These tests ensure that only the healthiest embryos are selected for transfer, increasing the chances of a successful pregnancy and reducing the risk of genetic disorders. Dr. Rahul Sharma, our Chief Embryologist, performs these procedures with precision, supported by our expert gynecologists, Dr. Urmila Sharma and Dr. Zeepee Godha.

What is Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS)?

Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) is a powerful tool used during in-vitro fertilization (IVF) to screen embryos for genetic abnormalities before they are transferred into the uterus. This screening helps identify embryos with the correct number of chromosomes or free from specific genetic disorders, enhancing the likelihood of a healthy pregnancy.

Types of PGS at ISHWA IVF

1. PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies)
• What It Is: PGT-A is designed to detect chromosomal aneuploidies—embryos with the wrong number of chromosomes, such as those causing Down syndrome or other chromosomal disorders.
• Who Needs It: This screening is particularly beneficial for women of advanced maternal age, couples with recurrent miscarriages, or those who have experienced repeated IVF failures.
• How It Helps: By identifying chromosomally normal embryos, PGT-A significantly increases the chances of successful implantation and reduces the risk of miscarriage.
2. PGT-M (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders)
• What It Is: PGT-M tests for specific genetic mutations that cause inherited single-gene disorders, such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, or Tay-Sachs disease.
• Who Needs It: Couples who are carriers of a known genetic condition or have a family history of genetic disorders should consider PGT-M.
• How It Helps: PGT-M ensures that embryos without the specific genetic mutation are selected for transfer, reducing the risk of passing on inherited conditions to your child.
3. PGT-SR (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Structural Rearrangements)
• What It Is: PGT-SR screens embryos for structural chromosomal rearrangements, such as translocations or inversions, which can lead to genetic imbalances.
• Who Needs It: Couples with a history of chromosomal rearrangements or those who have experienced multiple miscarriages may benefit from PGT-SR.
• How It Helps: PGT-SR identifies embryos with balanced chromosomes, reducing the likelihood of miscarriage and genetic abnormalities in the baby.

Why Choose PGS with PGT-A, PGT-M, and PGT-SR?

• Improved IVF Success Rates: By selecting the healthiest embryos, PGS significantly increases the chances of successful implantation and pregnancy.
• Genetic Assurance: PGS provides reassurance that your child will be free from specific genetic disorders or chromosomal abnormalities.
• Reduced Risk of Miscarriage: Screening for chromosomal abnormalities and structural rearrangements reduces the risk of miscarriage, leading to a smoother pregnancy journey.

How is PGS Performed?

At ISHWA IVF, Dr. Rahul Sharma, our Chief Embryologist, performs PGS with meticulous attention to detail. The process involves:

1. IVF and Embryo Cultivation: After eggs are fertilized in the lab, the resulting embryos are cultured for several days until they reach the blastocyst stage.
2. Embryo Biopsy: A small number of cells are carefully removed from each embryo for genetic testing. This procedure is performed with precision to ensure the embryo remains unharmed.
3. Genetic Analysis: The biopsied cells are sent to a specialized lab for detailed genetic testing, including PGT-A, PGT-M, and PGT-SR.
4. Embryo Selection: Based on the results of the genetic analysis, the healthiest embryos are selected for transfer into the uterus, or for cryopreservation for future use.
