PGD and PGS

Advances in DNA testing for genetic abnormalities are bringing untold peace of mind to couples and aspiring single parents, especially those with a family history of genetic diseases and other pregnancy concerns.

Today’s technology can greatly reduce the risk of genetic diseases

Ferny can test an embryo before it’s implanted into the uterus, a safe and easy way to ensure the pregnancy and birth will be free of genetic complications. There are two types of genetic testing:

PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis)

It tests for disorders that the patient, partner or donor might be carrying, including cystic fibrosis, Tay Sachs, sickle cell, spinal muscular atrophy, and many others.

PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening)

It focuses on chromosomes rather than genetic disorders, verifying that the embryo has 23 pairs. Missing or extra chromosomes can result in pregnancy loss or a child born with serious health issues.
