Genetic Testing
Through RMA Genetics, numerous preimplantation genetic
diagnoses are now possible. Women suffering multiple
miscarriages, failed IVF cycles or couples who are at
risk of passing inherited genetic diseases to their
children can benefit from the new advances in genetic
testing.
Through Preimplantation Genetics Diagnosis (PGD), RMA
Genetics helps patients to achieve their goal of having
a healthy baby.
While some IVF patients can benefit from PGD, it is of
critical importance to the following two patient groups:
·
Couples with infertility related to recurrent pregnancy
loss or failed IVF cycles.
·
Couples who are at risk for passing on inherited genetic
disease to their offspring.
PGD
is performed as a part of an In Vitro Fertilization
cycle where multiple eggs are produced, retrieved from
the ovaries and fertilized with the partner's sperm in
the Embryology Laboratory. IVF gives us access to
embryo(s) in vitro. PGD is then performed by removing
one or two cells from each embryo through a procedure
called embryo biopsy. These cells are analyzed in the
RMA Genetics Laboratory for the presence of genetic
disorders and chromosomal abnormalities. This
sophisticated and technologically advanced testing
attempts to identify embryos which are free of
abnormalities and more able to achieve the patient's
goal of a healthy baby.
PGD technology IDENTIFIES GENETIC ABNORMALITIES IN
EMBRYOS
Chromosomal abnormalities in early embryonic cells are
analyzed in The RMA Genetics Laboratory by fluorescence
in situ hybridization (FISH) to determine proper
structure and the appropriate number of the chromosomes
tested. Inherited Single Gene Disorders are analyzed in
collaboration with a contracted laboratory.

Our
State of the Art Laboratory offers several testing
panels analyzing up to nine chromosomes (13, 15, 16, 17,
18, 21, 22, XY). These panels can be tailored to your
center's embryo transfer protocol timetables. New tests
are developing daily; please discuss the availability of
testing panels with our Laboratory Director.
RMA Genetics is pleased to work with our colleagues
throughout the United States to offer:
·
Genetic counseling
·
Training on blastomere biopsy and fixation at no charge
·
Facilitate full biopsy and/or fixation by highly trained
per diem embryologists
