PGD Embryo method by NGS: accurate genetic diagnosis
When it comes to planning a pregnancy through IVF, many couples are not only focused on achieving pregnancy but also on being confident in the health of their future child. This is where PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis) comes in. When performed using the modern NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) technology, it represents the highest level of precision, effectiveness, and reliability.

PGD (Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis) is the study of the genetic material of an embryo before it is transferred to the uterus. The NGS method (Next Generation Sequencing) allows the full genetic information to be read with the highest accuracy. As a result, future parents receive complete and reliable data about potential chromosomal abnormalities or genetic mutations.
Who is PGD with NGS recommended for?
This procedure is especially relevant in the following cases:
- Woman’s age over 35 years
- Multiple unsuccessful IVF attempts in the past
- History of missed pregnancies or miscarriages
- Family history of hereditary genetic disorders
- Presence of structural or numerical chromosomal abnormalities
- Desire to exclude severe genetic pathologies
Features of the PGD procedure using NGS
- IVF procedure (embryo retrieval in laboratory conditions)
- Embryo biopsy (on day 5 of development, a few cells are taken from the outer shell, which will not become part of the fetus)
- NGS analysis (full genetic sequencing is conducted in a specialized laboratory)
- Receiving results (usually within 10-14 days)
- Selection of healthy embryos for transfer
Advantages of the NGS method
- Exceptional accuracy: detects even the smallest genetic abnormalities
- Comprehensive: all 24 chromosomes are analyzed (22 somatic pairs + X and Y)
- Reduced risk of miscarriage and developmental disorders
- Increased chances of a successful IVF on the first attempt
