PREIMPLANTATION GENETIC DIAGNOSIS of all 24 chromosomes !! ARRAY COMPARATIVE GENOMIC HYBRIDIZATION (aCGH) and MICROARRAY

June 12, 2009 @ 06:09 PM — by Laurence Jacobs M.D.

Previous preimplantation genetics testing methods, using PGS/PGD techniques, have only allowed for the evaluation of 9 to 12 chromosomes out of a total of 23 chromosome pairs in the human embryo cell. Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) and MicroArray solve this problem by evaluating all 23 chromosome pairs, allowing completely screened normal embryos to be identified and transferred or frozen. Due to our long-standing relationships with ReproGenetics (www.Reprogenetics.com  ) and the Center for Preimplantation Genetics (www.PGDCenter.com ), and Gene Security Network (www.genesecurity.net) as well as our excellent day 5 blastocyst culture methods and embryo freezing (vitrification) techniques, FCI is one of only a handful of IVF programs world-wide able to offer this major breakthrough.
