Mark Denker, MD offers PGD, Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis
After a couple has completed the initial IVF phase, their fertilized embryos can undergo a pre-implementation genetic diagnosis or PGD. This occurs around 8 weeks into the IVF treatment regimen and almost immediately before the embryo transfer.
PGD allows the team at Palm Beach Fertility Center to test embryos for genetic disorders before performing the embryo transfer. This is an especially important test for parents whose children are at a high risk of inheriting a genetic defect. After the couple completes an IVF cycle, one cell from each of the fertilized embryos is tested for the DNA mutation of most concern to that particular patient. Currently, the Palm Beach Fertility Clinic has the capability to test for over 100 different genetic disorders, including Huntington’s disease, Tay Sachs disease, hemophilia and some types of leukemia. In addition, when conducting this test, specialists from the facility will test for the presence of either X or Y chromosomes in order to confirm the sex of the embryo.
