The Preimplantation Genetic Disorder PGD HLA Typing Single Embryo test is a specialized genetic test designed to screen embryos for specific genetic disorders before they are implanted in the uterus during in vitro fertilization (IVF). This test is essential for couples who may be at risk of passing on genetic conditions to their children, allowing them to make informed decisions about their reproductive options.
What the Test Measures
This test measures the genetic makeup of embryos by analyzing their DNA for specific genetic disorders and HLA typing. By using Sanger Sequencing, a highly accurate method for sequencing DNA, the test identifies any potential genetic anomalies that could affect the health of the future child.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Couples considering IVF, especially those with a family history of genetic disorders, should consider this test. It is also recommended for individuals who have experienced recurrent miscarriages or have undergone multiple failed IVF attempts. Risk factors include:
- Family history of genetic disorders
- Advanced maternal age
- Previous genetic abnormalities in children
Benefits of Taking the Test

- Increased chance of a healthy pregnancy
- Reduction in the risk of genetic disorders in offspring
- Informed decision-making regarding embryo selection
Understanding Your Results
