PREIMPLANTATION GENETIC DIAGNOSIS
Alps Hospitals offers Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD), a process that checks the genes or chromosomes of embryos for specific genetic conditions during IVF. PGD helps couples with a known inherited disease in their family avoid passing on the condition to their child. It involves taking a biopsy of embryos after IVF and testing them for specific genetic conditions. Embryos free of the condition are then transferred to the womb.
In six simple steps, couples are offered the chance to conceive and give birth to healthy babies regardless the genetic traits of either of the partners.
Indeed, Assisted Reproductive Technology not only offers the opportunity for a complete family by making conception possible, it goes beyond by helping to eliminate the possibility of inherited genetic disease which is not so in the case of spontaneous conception.
With advanced cutting edge technology, Africa’s Premier Hospitality-based Fertility Hospital, Alps Hospitals, remains the best stop to not only achieve your fertility goals, but to also eliminate any chance of having offspring that will inherit any genetic disease whatsoever.
