For couples facing genetic challenges, having a healthy baby is now more achievable than ever. At IVF Support Services in Cyprus, we specialize in assisting international couples with fertility treatments tailored to their needs. Our expertise in in vitro fertilization (IVF) and genetic screening ensures that families can confidently embark on their journey to parenthood.
Genetic disorders result from chromosomal abnormalities or gene mutations, some of which can be inherited. While some conditions cause minor health issues, others can lead to serious complications affecting fertility or a baby’s well-being. Fortunately, modern reproductive technologies offer solutions to minimize these risks.
IVF treatment combined with genetic screening has proven to be an effective method for individuals and couples with inherited conditions. This approach allows for a thorough examination of embryos before implantation, significantly reducing the likelihood of passing on genetic disorders.
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is a highly advanced screening method that examines embryos for genetic abnormalities before transfer. This technique is particularly recommended for:
Couples with a family history of genetic conditions
Women who have experienced recurrent miscarriages
Those who have had previous unsuccessful IVF cycles
Women over 35, who face a higher risk of chromosomal issues
By identifying and selecting only genetically healthy embryos, PGT enhances the chances of a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby.
There are three primary forms of Preimplantation Genetic Testing:
This checks for missing or extra chromosomes, which can lead to conditions such as Down Syndrome.
Used when a specific genetic mutation runs in the family, ensuring affected embryos are not implanted.
Screens for inherited structural chromosome issues that could lead to implantation failure or miscarriage.
PGT and other genetic screening techniques have dramatically improved success rates for couples carrying hereditary conditions. Disorders such as Thalassemia, Cystic Fibrosis, and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy can now be detected and prevented. These cutting-edge technologies not only help ensure a genetically healthy baby but also contribute to a safer pregnancy experience.
The IVF journey for couples with genetic risks involves several crucial steps:
A fertility specialist assesses the couple’s medical history and potential risks.
Hormone treatments stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, which are then retrieved for fertilization.
Sperm and eggs are combined in the lab, and resulting embryos develop over several days.
The embryos undergo genetic testing to identify healthy ones.
A selected healthy embryo is implanted into the uterus.
If successful, pregnancy is confirmed and closely monitored.
