Meaning of PGD IVF

PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis) test tube baby is a kind of screening and selection of genetic genes for embryos through in vitro fertilization and embryonic cytogenetic diagnosis technology, so as to reduce the transmission risk of genetic diseases or chromosomal abnormalities before embryo implantation. Generally speaking, PGD test tube baby refers to a technology for genetic testing of embryos in test tube baby technology.

Role of PGD IVF

The main function of PGD test tube baby technology is to avoid the transmission of genetic diseases or chromosomal abnormalities before embryo implantation, so as to help families with special genetic diseases or high-risk chromosomal abnormalities successfully give birth to healthy babies.

Application fields of PGD test tube baby

PGD IVF technology is widely used in the following aspects:

1. Families with familial genetic diseases: For some familial genetic diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, congenital kidney disease, etc., family members carry gene mutations and have a high risk of disease. PGD technology can conduct targeted screening of embryos, exclude embryos carrying these gene mutations, and reduce the risk of disease transmission.

2. Elderly puerpera: With the growth of age, female fertility will gradually decline, and embryos prone to chromosomal abnormalities, such as Down syndrome. PGD technology can conduct chromosome screening before implantation, and select healthy embryos to improve the success rate.

3. Families failing to reproduce: Some families have experienced multiple spontaneous abortions or induced abortions, and the success rate of re pregnancy is low, which may be caused by abnormal embryo chromosomes. PGD technology can help these families conduct chromosome screening on embryos, screen healthy embryos, and improve the success rate of reproduction.

Practical application of PGD test tube baby

In real life, PGD IVF technology has been widely used in major hospitals. Taking Peking Union Medical College Hospital as an example, the hospital has a first-class IVF technical team and equipment facilities, which can provide PGD IVF services for families in need.

Through the practical application of PGD test tube baby technology, many families have successfully welcomed healthy babies. After birth, these babies can avoid the risk of suffering from some serious genetic diseases and contribute to the happiness and health of the family.

Summary

PGD test tube baby technology helps families avoid the risk of genetic diseases or chromosomal abnormalities by screening and selecting genetic genes of embryos, thus improving the birth rate of healthy babies. The technology has been widely used in families with family genetic diseases, elderly mothers and families with failed reproduction. At present, many hospitals have been able to provide PGD test tube baby services to help more families realize their reproductive aspirations and welcome the arrival of healthy babies.
