Different levels of genetic screening allow us to reduce the number of unsuccessful IVF cycles to a minimum. At the same time, we can select embryos with the best chance of developing into healthy pregnancies. Every couple is unique at Unica. That is why our geneticists always provide you with an individual professional consultation of the results and recommend a procedure suitable for your specific situation.
We recommend the first consultation with an expert geneticist before starting infertility treatment. Genetic testing can reveal genetic risks and prevent health complications in the future baby. It is crucial for couples with genetically determined diseases in a family health history, where the risk is thus higher.
It determines whether future parents are carriers of specific genetic mutations that could cause severe diseases in their children. CGT is, therefore excellent prevention of some genetic defects if you are planning a pregnancy naturally or with the help of assisted reproduction. Most of us are carriers of genetic mutations even though we are completely healthy.
However, if both parents are carriers of a genetic mutation on the same gene, there is a certain probability of the birth of a sick child. CGT gives couples with positive results an option to decide if they want to use the genetic examination of the embryos created by the union of their germ cells.
They can also choose to use a donated egg or sperm from tested donors and thus prevent the transmission of the disease to the child.
