Assisted Conception Genetic Testing GeneSure™ PGS and PGD

GeneSure™ PGS and PGD genetic testing

GeneSure™ is Genea’s pre-implantation genetic testing and includes both PGS and PGD genetic testing. PGD (Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis) and PGS (Pre-Implantation Genetic Screening) involve testing embryos created in the IVF process for genetic abnormalities and helps detect the best possible embryo for transfer.

Amie and James had three miscarriages before turning to IVF for PGS. Hear their story

PGD and PGS explained

Highly trained and experienced scientists microscopically remove a few cells from the embryo and test the DNA. An embryo free of abnormalities is then transferred to the woman as part of the normal IVF process or remains frozen for future use. The difference between PGD and PGS is how and what they screen for.

PGD is often used by couples who don’t have an infertility issue but know they carry a serious genetic disorder, with the aim of having a child free of the disease. A genetic work up is required which involves blood samples from each partner and may require additional samples from other family members. This work up process ultimately enables scientists to identify all the affected and non-affected DNA patterns in the patient’s embryos. At Genea, we have experience with more than 230 genetic diseases as part of our PGD program so far. These conditions are often disabling, have no prevention, cure or proven treatments, beyond symptomatic care. For example, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Huntington disease, Leigh’s disease and Fragile X. PGD also screens for cystic fibrosis which is the most common single gene disorder screened for at Genea.

PGS, is often used by couples who are older, have experienced recurrent miscarriage or have had a number of failed embryo transfers following IVF treatment. It doesn’t require a genetic work up but rather screens embryos to ensure they have the correct number and order of chromosomes.

PGS maximises patients’ potential to have a baby by reducing miscarriage rates* and increasing live birth rates*.

Genea shares patient stories to help people experiencing infertility to understand that they are not alone. Hearing about other people experiencing the same challenges is a powerful way to break the isolation and stigma that often surrounds infertility. We share these stories with the intent to inform, educate and comfort and have no intention to create unreasonable expectations of beneficial treatment. Similarly, we have no intention for our community to believe the stories told are the outcomes that would be achieved for every patient.
