In today’s world, advanced reproductive technologies like In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) offer remarkable solutions for various fertility issues. But did you know IVF can also help in preventing genetic diseases? Yes, that’s right! If you are concerned about passing on hereditary conditions to your child, IVF with genetic screening could be the answer you’re looking for.
IVF, or In Vitro Fertilization, is a procedure where an egg is combined with sperm outside the body, in a lab. Here’s a simplified breakdown of how IVF works:
IVF can be a game-changer for couples at risk of passing on genetic disorders. Using Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT), embryos can be screened for specific genetic conditions before being implanted. This ensures only healthy embryos are selected for transfer, significantly reducing the risk of genetic diseases.
IVF can help prevent a range of genetic conditions, including:
Here’s a closer look at the steps involved in using IVF to prevent genetic diseases:
1. Genetic Counseling: Couples receive counseling to understand their genetic risks and the IVF process.
2. Ovarian Stimulation and Egg Retrieval: As previously described, eggs are stimulated and collected.
3. Fertilization and Embryo Development: Eggs are fertilized with sperm in the lab.
4. Genetic Testing: Embryos undergo genetic testing to check for specific disorders.
5. Embryo Selection and Transfer: Only healthy embryos are selected for transfer to the uterus.
Choosing IVF with genetic screening offers several benefits:
The success rates of IVF with genetic screening are promising. According to various studies, the likelihood of achieving a healthy pregnancy using IVF with PGT is significantly higher compared to traditional methods. Here’s a table summarizing the success rates:

|---|---|
| PGT-A (Aneuploidy) | 60-70 |
| PGT-M (Monogenic Disorders) | 50-60 |
