PGD

Cyprus PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis)

PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis) is a technology that allows genetic screening of embryos during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. This method allows for the detection of genetic diseases or chromosomal abnormalities before embryo transfer, thus increasing the chances of pregnancy by selecting healthy embryos.

Advantages of PGD in Cyprus

Prevention of Genetic Diseases

Couples with a family history of hereditary diseases (e.g., thalassemia, cystic fibrosis, Huntington's disease) can prevent the transmission of these diseases to their babies by selecting healthy embryos.

Detection of Chromosomal Anomalies

Chromosomal disorders such as Down syndrome and Turner syndrome can be identified in advance.

Gender Selection (Family Balancing)

This can be used for family balancing purposes.

High IVF Success Rates

The transfer of healthy embryos with PGD reduces the risk of miscarriage and increases the chance of pregnancy.

Religious and Legal Flexibility

Cyprus has more flexible laws than Türkiye and is a preferred center for many international patients.

PGD Process in Cyprus

Couples receive genetic counseling and undergo necessary blood tests.

Ovaries are retrieved from the woman and fertilized with sperm in the laboratory.

Cell samples are taken from the resulting embryos on day 5-6 (blastocyst stage).

The samples are examined for genetic disorders or chromosomal abnormalities (13, 16, 18, 21, 22, X, and Y).

The healthiest embryo is selected and transferred to the uterus.

Legal Status

The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) permits PGD and gender selection.

The Cyprus Omni IVF Clinic is an attractive center for international patients for genetic screening and gender selection through PGD. Success rates are high, and legal regulations are flexible. Please contact us for more information.
