Frequently Asked Questions

What is Pre-implantation Genetic Screening (PGS)?
PGS is a genetic test that examines embryos created through IVF for chromosomal abnormalities before transfer to the uterus.
How much does PGS cost in India?
The cost of PGS per embryo in India is INR 12,000 at DNA Labs India.
Who should consider PGS?
Couples with recurrent miscarriages, failed IVF cycles, advanced maternal age, or a family history of genetic disorders should consider PGS.
What are the steps involved in PGS?
The steps include IVF treatment, embryo biopsy, genetic testing using NGS or microarray, and selection of healthy embryos for transfer.
Is PGS covered by insurance in India?
No, PGS is not covered by insurance in India, and patients must bear the cost themselves.
What is the success rate of PGS?
PGS can improve IVF success rates by selecting chromosomally normal embryos, but success depends on individual factors.
Are there any risks associated with PGS?
Risks include minimal harm to the embryo during biopsy and potential emotional stress from results.
How long does it take to get PGS results?
PGS results are typically available within 1-2 days after biopsy.
Can PGS detect all genetic disorders?
PGS screens for chromosomal abnormalities but may not detect all single-gene disorders; PGD is used for specific genetic conditions.
What is the difference between PGS and PGD?
PGS screens for chromosomal abnormalities, while PGD tests for specific genetic disorders in embryos.
Is PGS necessary for all IVF patients?
PGS is not mandatory for all IVF patients; it is recommended based on medical history and risk factors.
How accurate is PGS?
PGS is highly accurate in detecting chromosomal abnormalities, but no test is 100% foolproof.
