Reproductive Genetic Counseling

At FERTILITE, we offer high-quality reproductive genetic counseling as an integral part of the evaluation for couples who require assisted reproduction. Our goal is to assess the presence of hereditary conditions or the risk of passing genetic diseases to offspring. These genetic diseases are caused by mutations in the DNA, which can compromise health and quality of life.

This service is provided by a medical genetics specialist.

During the consultation, we begin with a detailed medical and family history to identify potential hereditary risks and create a comprehensive patient profile. With this information, we offer thorough genetic counseling and present the reproductive options available based on the patient’s specific case. Additionally, we provide advanced testing such as the carrier panel, which screens approximately 500 genes associated with various hereditary diseases, including metabolic disorders, blood conditions, intellectual disabilities, and congenital malformations.

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)

At FERTILITE, we also offer Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT), a technique that allows us to study the DNA of embryos before transfer, selecting those that are free from genetic diseases. This service is essential for couples seeking to avoid passing hereditary conditions to their children. Depending on the case, donor gametes can also be used to prevent genetic disorders.

There are three main types of PGT tests:

PGT-A

Preimplantation screening for aneuploidies.

PGT-A is a genetic test performed on embryos obtained through in vitro fertilization (IVF) to detect chromosomal abnormalities (aneuploidies) associated with parental age. These chromosomal abnormalities increase the risk of genetic disorders such as Down syndrome, Turner syndrome, and others. With this technique, we significantly reduce the risk of transferring affected embryos, maximizing the chances of a successful pregnancy.

PGT-M

PGT-M: Preimplantation Diagnosis of Monogenic Diseases

PGT-M is ideal for couples already diagnosed with a specific genetic condition. This test identifies the mutation in embryos, ensuring that only those free from the disease are transferred, reducing the risk for future offspring. In cases where a genetic condition is suspected in the family, we offer preliminary studies to identify the involved gene and provide the necessary genetic counseling.

PGT-SR

PGT-SR: Preimplantation Screening for Structural Chromosomal Rearrangements

PGT-SR is designed for couples who carry balanced translocations or chromosomal inversions. Although these individuals are usually healthy, they face higher risks of miscarriages, recurrent pregnancy loss, or having children with malformations. This test identifies embryos with a balanced chromosomal complement, reducing the risks associated with these rearrangements. Our genetic team also provides the necessary follow-up for other family members who may be at risk.
