Most commonly, PGD is used where a couple is aware of the possibility that their offspring will inherit a genetic disease. Even though they may not have a problem with infertility, they choose to undergo a stimulated IVF cycle with the aim of producing a number of embryos.

Now, the major application of PGD Treatment in India is in the field of assisted reproduction for aneuploidy screening and diagnosis of unbalanced inheritance of chromosome abnormalities (translocations). The most common type of PGD today involves testing of embryos for a panel of the most common chromosome abnormalities (aneuploidy screening) and using only normal embryos to attempt a pregnancy. Each IVF cycle, therefore, has a better potential outcome, since embryos screened in this way have been shown to have a higher rate of implantation in the uterus, lower spontaneous loss rate, and a reduced risk of trisomic offspring (i.e. Down syndrome).

Some families have used PGD Treatment in India to test their embryos to ensure they can provide a bone marrow transplant for a sick sibling. The bone marrow cells for the sick sibling are taken from the umbilical cord blood of the new baby. Using this process of tissue typing, these babies are sometimes called ‘saviour siblings’ as they can literally save their sick brother or sister’s life. Let’s learn more facts about PGD Treatment in India.

So, in short, we can say, PGD is best suitable for –

• Single Gene disorder
• Women, who are facing with recurrent miscarriage
• Any of the partner carrying the chromosomal defect
• Women, who are above 35 age
• Male or female carrying a genetic disorder

Basically, there are three types of PGD Treatment in India and IVF treatment is required to accomplish all these types. Following are the PGD types in India –

• Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis for a single gene or monogenic disorder also referred as PGD-M – the main motto of this PGD type is to attain pregnancy, which is impervious by any heritable genetic mutation passed by one or both of the partners.
• Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis for any structural rearrangements, also known as PGD-SR – PGD-SR makes sure the embryo won’t have any structural chromosomal disorder or translocation or deletion or duplication.
• Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis for Aneuploidy or PGD – A. PGD-A identifies the embryos with sub-chromosomal deletions, duplications and de novo aneuploidy. Avoiding these embryos with sub-chromosomal defects reduces the chance of miscarriage and further complication of pregnancy failure.

IVF Treatment always is a part of the above methods (i.e. PGD Treatment in India). PGD Cost in India with IVF treatment is a bit pricey because during PGD treatment there is IVF method is involved. PGD technique with IVF treatment gives a high success rate of successful delivery.
