Understanding Your Results

Results indicate whether genetic mutations are detected in the embryo.
Positive: Genetic mutation detected, embryo may be affected
Negative: No genetic mutation detected, embryo is likely unaffected
Inconclusive: Further testing may be required
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a genetic counselor or reproductive specialist after receiving results to discuss implications and next steps.

Limitations

  • ⚠PGD may not detect all genetic disorders
  • ⚠Accuracy depends on the specific mutation and testing method
  • ⚠Risk of embryo damage during biopsy

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Potential risk of embryo damage during biopsy
  • ●False positives or negatives possible
  • ●Emotional stress associated with results

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Pre-Implantation Genetic Disorder (PGD) testing?
PGD is a test performed before embryo implantation during IVF to check for genetic abnormalities, helping to prevent the transmission of genetic disorders to children.
How is PGD performed?
PGD involves biopsy of a few cells from the embryo, typically from the trophectoderm, during IVF. These cells are analyzed using techniques like Sanger Sequencing to detect genetic mutations.
What genetic disorders can PGD detect?
PGD can detect a wide range of genetic disorders, including cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and Huntington's disease, among others.
What is the cost of PGD for a single embryo in India?
The cost of PGD for a single embryo in India is approximately INR 27,000, though it may vary based on the clinic and number of embryos tested.
Is PGD covered by insurance?
PGD is not typically covered by insurance in India, so couples should be prepared to pay out of pocket.
What are the risks associated with PGD?
Risks include potential embryo damage during biopsy, false positives or negatives, and emotional stress. It's important to discuss these with your healthcare provider.
How long does it take to get PGD results?
Results are typically available within 15-20 days after sample collection.
Do I need a doctor's prescription for PGD?
Yes, PGD can be done with a doctor's prescription. Prescription is not applicable for surgery, pregnancy cases, or people planning to travel abroad.
Can PGD be used for gender selection?
PGD can identify embryo gender, but its use for non-medical gender selection may be subject to ethical and legal guidelines. Consult with your healthcare provider.
What is the difference between PGD and PGS?
PGD tests for specific genetic disorders, while PGS (Pre-Implantation Genetic Screening) screens for chromosomal abnormalities. Both are done during IVF.
How accurate is PGD testing?
PGD is highly accurate for detecting specific genetic mutations, but accuracy can vary based on the mutation and testing method. Discuss with your genetic counselor.
Where can I get PGD testing done in India?
DNA Labs India offers PGD testing with home sample collection available across numerous cities in India. Book online for discounted rates.
