What is Preimplantation Genetic Screening?
Also known as comprehensive chromosomes screening (CCS) and preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) allows chromosomal evaluation of the embryos with more diagnostic accuracy.
The biopsy procedure involves one or more cells of an embryo in the context of an assisted reproduction treatment. In other words, PGS consists of the genetic analysis of the obtained embryonic cells and then the transfer of these normal embryos
How It Works
Preimplantation Genetic Screening is typically used in combination with other assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF, with the aim of helping to increase the chances of pregnancy and the time to pregnancy.
In addition, the chromosomal evaluation performed on embryos help to ensure that only healthy embryos are transferred to a woman. A PGS procedure looks like the following:
1. Stimulation and Egg Retrieval
2. Embryo Development
3. Trophectoderm Biopsy
4. DNA Amplication
5. DNA Quantification
6. Results
7. Embryo Transfer and Synchrony
PGS Vs PGD
PGS is used to analyze biopsied cells inside the embryo to screen any potential genetic abnormalities. PGD however, is used to detect a specific disorder that has a high probability of being passed down from the parents.
Advantages and Limitations of PGS
<Advantages>
· Increases the rate of successful implantation
· Decreases the risk of miscarriage
· Increases the time to pregnancy
· Increases the chances of conception
<Limitations>
· Genetic Analysis cannot guarantee a 100% result
· Time - consuming (about 4 weeks)
FAQ
Q1: How do I know if I need to undergo PGS?
A1: Before choosing to undergo PGS, it is recommended that you consult a doctor as to whether or not PGS will most likely benefit you. The use of PGS increases the implantation rate and embryo selection in patients undergoing assisted reproduction treatment with good prognosis.
Q2: How long do we have to wait until we can receive an embryo biopsy?
A2: Once you start a PGD treatment cycle, the process will take about 9 weeks to achieve an embryo biopsy.
