A vast array of genetic diseases can be analyzed by PGD, but first we must develop, optimize and validate the specific probes that will be used. For each couple, the probes to be used during PGD must be tested on single lymphocytes from the parent’s blood before the cycle is begun. For many of the more common single gene diseases, Genesis Genetics can perform the necessary validation in about two weeks. For genetic diseases with variable mutations the development, optimization and validation procedures can take 4-6 weeks. Remember, there is no such thing as off-the-shelf PGD. A pre-PGD evaluation must be performed before the cycle begins for all patients.
Forms and checklists for drawing blood, blood submission, pre-case, and blastomere biopsy submission are available on our Forms page as downloadable PDFs.
