By combining medical expertise with world-class technology, we help minimize the risk of genetic diseases before pregnancy even begins.
What is PGD (Pre Implantation Genetic Diagnosis)?
Pre Implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is an advanced diagnostic technique used during the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) process to examine embryos for potential genetic or chromosomal abnormalities before they are implanted into the uterus.
Originally developed as an alternative to prenatal diagnosis, PGD allows couples who carry hereditary conditions to avoid passing them on to their children. It helps detect disorders caused by a single gene or multiple genetic factors—such as Down’s Syndrome, cystic fibrosis, or recurrent miscarriages resulting from chromosomal translocations.
This method empowers couples to make informed decisions and start their journey toward parenthood with confidence and clarity.
How PGD is Performed
At Maa Women’s Hospital and IVF Center Pvt. Ltd, the PGD process begins with controlled ovarian stimulation using specific fertility medications to encourage the growth of multiple eggs. Once the follicles reach maturity, a trigger injection is given, and egg retrieval is carried out.
The husband’s semen sample is collected, and ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is used for fertilization to prevent DNA contamination from sperm. When embryos reach the blastocyst stage (around day five), a small biopsy is performed to collect a few cells from the outer layer called the trophectoderm.
These cells are carefully analyzed under a microscope to identify any genetic or chromosomal issues. Only embryos found to be genetically normal are selected for transfer into the uterus, significantly increasing the chances of a healthy pregnancy.
Who Should Consider PGD?
PGD (Pre Implantation Genetic Diagnosis) is recommended for:
• Couples who are carriers of known genetic disorders.
• Parents who have a child affected by a hereditary disease.
• Couples with recurrent pregnancy loss or chromosomal abnormalities.
• Families seeking a tissue-matched sibling for medical treatment.
Before beginning treatment, patients receive detailed genetic counseling at Maa Women’s Hospital, where our specialists explain every option—including prenatal diagnosis, donor gametes, and adoption—so couples can choose the path that suits them best.
