What Is Reproductive Genetic Counseling?
Reproductive genetic counseling is a specialized medical guidance process that helps:
- Detect and assess genetic and chromosomal risks in couples and individuals.
- Identify the likelihood of passing on hereditary conditions.
- Optimize assisted reproduction treatments through advanced genetic studies such as PGT-A and PGT-M.
- Provide safe and informed options to prevent genetic issues and ensure better reproductive outcomes.
Why Is It Important?
Genetic alterations can impact fertility, embryonic development, and the baby’s health. With genetic counseling:
- We can detect chromosomal abnormalities that increase the risk of miscarriage or serious conditions.
- Identify if prospective parents are carriers of recessive genetic diseases.
- Optimize fertility treatments by selecting genetically healthy embryos using advanced tests like PGT-A and PGT-M.
What Does Our Genetic Counseling Include?
Personalized Risk Assessments
A detailed analysis of family history, reproductive background, and specific risk factors.
Genetic Carrier Screening
Tests to identify if parents are carriers of hereditary conditions like cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy, or sickle cell anemia.
Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies (PGT-A)
This test detects chromosomal abnormalities (aneuploidies) in embryos obtained through in vitro fertilization (IVF), allowing us to select the healthiest embryos for transfer.
Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders (PGT-M)
This test evaluates specific genetic conditions when there is a known family risk, such as muscular dystrophies, thalassemias, or hereditary syndromes.
Clinical Genetic Testing
Specialized studies for patients with complex medical histories or previous children affected by genetic conditions.
Baby Gender Planning Counseling
In medically indicated cases or for family balancing, we offer the option to determine the embryo’s sex through PGT-A.
Who Should Consider Genetic Counseling?
Advanced Maternal Age:
Women over 35 years old.
Recurrent Miscarriages or Implantation Failures: To identify potential chromosomal causes.
Family History of Genetic Conditions: Such as cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, or muscular dystrophy.
Consanguineous Couples: Higher risk of transmitting recessive genetic diseases.
IVF Treatments: To optimize outcomes and reduce genetic risks.
Carriers of Hereditary Conditions: Confirmed through genetic carrier screenings.
