What it is


It is a Kit and software package to implement in your laboratory a PGD – PGD+PGS solution by NGS.

Using this kit you will be able to:

· Perform In-House and self-sufficient PGD analysis
· Obtain quick results is possible for fresh transfers
· Simplify the laboratory routine
· Access more than 40 validated diseases
· Order custom design of new monogenic diseases with no setup cost

How it works


Nowadays, next generation sequencing (NGS) is the most effective technique available for the study of the genome. For this reason, it has become an important instrument for preimplantation genetic diagnosis.

It offers comprehensive information concerning aneuploidies, genetic mutations and unbalanced translocations in embryos.

It means a reproductive opportunity for couples who are exposed to an increased risk of having a child with a specific monogenic disorder.

PGD by NGS Technology


PGD test is designed to study monogenic diseases and it is specific to each family

Case Review

The family clinical report arrives at the laboratory.

First Amplification

When the sample arrives at the laboratory, the first amplification begins. In this step, whole genome is amplified.

Panel Design

The panel is designed specifically for the mutation to study.

Second Amplification

A second amplification is performed. This time, just a specific region is amplified.

Informative Study

Blood from both parents and other family members comes at the laboratory and DNA is extracted. Informative study is carried out to know which allele is inherited from each parent.

Sequencing

Library is sequenced, then the results are analyzed with specific software in which each embryo can be diagnosed as affected, carrier or unaffected. This is possible because inherited alleles are known by the previous informative study.

Embryo Biopsy

Then, the embryos are biopsied on day 3 or 5 by an experienced embryologist.

PGD + PGS by NGS Technology


PGD+ PGS can be combined to study chromosomal aneuploidies, copy number variation and monogenic diseases starting from a single biopsy. In addition, multiple samples can be processed together in such a way that the per‑sample sequencing time and cost are minimized.

PGD+PGS analysis can be carried out in 24 hours.
