    At Mamata Fertility Hospital in Secunderabad, we understand the joy and responsibility that comes with building a family. For couples or individuals who are carriers of serious genetic conditions, ensuring the health of their future child is paramount. 

    Through Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders (PGT-M), we provide the opportunity to screen embryos for specific gene defects before implantation, ensuring families can make informed and confident choices during their fertility journeys.

    Our advanced embryo testing for gene defects in Secunderabad helps identify and prevent the transmission of single-gene disorders, enabling the selection of healthy embryos for IVF. With cutting-edge technology and a compassionate team of fertility experts, Mamata Fertility Hospital is at the forefront of ensuring healthier futures for aspiring parents.

    What is Embryo Testing for Specific Gene Defect & Purpose of This Test?

    Embryo Testing for Specific Gene Defect, also known as PGT-M, is a specialized genetic screening technique performed during an IVF cycle. It helps detect single-gene disorders in embryos before they are implanted into the uterus. 

    Single-gene disorders arise due to mutations in a single gene and may lead to inherited illnesses, some of which can be life-altering or life-threatening. These include conditions like cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, Tay-Sachs disease, and muscular dystrophy.

    PGT-M for single-gene disorders enables couples to ensure that their future child is not affected by these conditions, particularly if both partners are carriers or if there is a history of genetic disease in the family. 

    By testing embryos before implantation, PGT-M eliminates the uncertainty that often accompanies natural conception for high-risk couples.

    Purpose of Embryo Testing for Specific Gene Defects:

    • Detect single-gene mutations in embryos that can cause genetic diseases.
    • Help prevent the inheritance of serious or life-limiting medical conditions.
    • Increase IVF success rates by selecting healthy embryos for implantation.
    • Provide peace of mind to parents worried about genetic risks.
    • Allow families to make informed decisions about their reproductive future.

    With our expertise in genetic screening for IVF in Secunderabad, we take pride in offering accurate and personalized genetic testing solutions tailored to your needs.

    Who Should Consider This Test? (Eligibility and Scenarios)

    PGT-M is a highly specialized test and is recommended for specific individuals or couples who fall into higher-risk categories for genetic disorders.

    Who is Eligible for PGT-M?

    1. Carriers of Single-Gene Disorders: Couples where one or both partners carry faulty genes for disorders like cystic fibrosis, Huntington’s disease, or Marfan syndrome.
    2. Parents with a Family History of Genetic Diseases: Individuals with close relatives affected by inheritable disorders.
    3. Parents Who Have a Child with a Genetic Disorder: If couples have already experienced raising a child with an inherited disorder, they may pursue testing to reduce recurrence risk.
    4. Couples with Consanguineous Marriages: Those from consanguineous unions (marriages within the family) face a higher risk of genetic disorders in offspring.
    5. Personal Genetic History: Individuals with diagnosed genetic mutations or hereditary syndromes, even without a family history, may consider testing.

    Specific Scenarios for PGT-M Testing:

    • Couples where both partners carry the gene for sickle cell anemia, wishing to ensure their baby is unaffected.
    • Families with a history of Huntington’s disease, which has severe, life-threatening consequences.
    • A male partner diagnosed with X-linked disorders like Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which can affect male offspring.

    If these situations apply to you, undergoing embryo testing for single-gene defects in Secunderabad at Mamata Fertility Hospital provides clarity and confidence in your reproductive decisions.

    How to Prepare for the Test?

    Steps to Prepare for PGT-M Testing:

    1. Comprehensive Fertility Assessment: Prior to starting the IVF cycle, both partners should undergo routine fertility tests, such as semen analysis and ovarian reserve testing.
    2. Genetic Counseling: Our genetic counselors will discuss potential risks, test details, and outcomes with you. Sharing your family medical history will help identify specific gene mutations to test for.
    3. Sample Collection for Genetic Mapping: Blood or saliva samples from both partners, and sometimes other family members, are needed to map the identified genetic mutation.
    4. IVF Preparation: PGT-M is done as part of an IVF cycle, so ovarian stimulation to retrieve eggs and sperm preparation are essential steps.
    5. Mental Preparedness: PGT-M can be an emotional procedure, as test results may affect your choices. Partner with our compassionate team to feel supported every step of the way.

    When you trust Mamata Fertility Hospital with your PGT-M for single-gene disorders in Secunderabad, we focus on making the process seamless and informative to ensure the best outcomes.

    KEY INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS

    1.How much does PGT-M testing cost?

    Cost varies based on the number of embryos tested and the complexity of the screening. For detailed pricing and affordable packages, please contact us directly.

    2. How long does the test take?

     Results for PGT-M testing are usually available within 10–14 days, depending on the complexity of the gene analysis.

    3. Is PGT-M safe for embryos?

    Yes, PGT-M is performed using advanced biopsy techniques that minimize any risk to the embryos.

    4. How accurate are the results?

    PGT-M is highly accurate, identifying most gene mutations with precision, though it’s not 100% definitive.

    5. What happens if all embryos are affected?

    If no healthy embryos are identified, our specialists will discuss alternative options, such as donor embryos or sperm, based on your preferences.

    How is the Test Performed?

    PGT-M is carefully integrated into the IVF process and conducted with advanced techniques to ensure accuracy and safety.

    Steps in Embryo Testing for Gene Defects:

    1. IVF Process Begins:
      • Egg retrieval is performed following ovarian stimulation. The eggs are fertilized in the lab with sperm to create embryos.
    2. Blastocyst Formation:
      • Embryos are cultured to the blastocyst stage (usually 5–6 days), when they contain sufficient cells for the biopsy.
    3. Biopsy and Testing:
      • A few cells are extracted from the embryo’s trophectoderm (outer layer) for DNA analysis. The embryo itself remains intact and is frozen for later implantation.
    4. Gene Testing:
      • Using advanced genetic technologies, the extracted cells are tested for the presence of the targeted genetic mutation or disorder.
    5. Result Evaluation:
      • Only embryos identified as unaffected or free from genetically significant mutations are selected for transfer.

    This process allows couples to proceed with confidence, knowing that only the healthiest embryos are being implanted. With our precise embryo testing for gene defects in Secunderabad, we provide dependable outcomes.
