Genetic Tests
Did you know?
Genetic testing provides information about a person's genes and chromosomes. It allows doctors to make a more accurate patient diagnosis and personalize the fertility treatment to help improve the chances of achieving pregnancy while limiting the risks of complications. Genetic test results can confirm or rule out a suspected genetic condition. The results of tests also help to determine a person's chance of developing or passing on a genetic disorder. Changes in the genetic makeup are one of the major reasons for implantation failures, miscarriages, and other male/female-specific fertility problems.
Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies PGT-A
Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT‐A), formerly known as preimplantation genetic screening (PGS), is an alternative method to select embryos
Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Structural Rearrangements (PGT-SR)
PGT-SR is a genetic test for detecting inherited chromosomal structural rearrangements in embryos prior to their transfer and enhancing the chance of a
Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic or Single Gene Disorder (PGT- M)
Preimplantation genetic testing for a Monogenic or Single Gene Disorder (PGT‐M) is formerly known as Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). PGT-M is a
Chromosomal Karyotyping
A karyotype evaluates a person's chromosomes including their structure, number, and arrangement. A normal karyotype contains 46 chromosomes (23 pairs)
Sperm Aneuploidy Screening
Sperm Aneuploidy Screening is a diagnostic tool used to determine the treatment options for male infertility. This test helps to identify and count chromosomes
Sperm DNA fragmentation testing
Sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) testing is used to analyze sperm quality. This test differs from semen analysis by examining the presence of nicks and breaks in
Endometrial Microbiota Analysis (EMMA/ ALICE)
The human uterine endometrium is characterized by a delicate balance of microbes, cellular immune response, and cytokines which control the endometrial
Product of Conception
The POC test analyzes fetal tissues from a miscarriage to determine if the lost pregnancy was the result of a chromosomal aneuploidy (abnormal number of
