How can PGD Help us if I or My partner carry a structural chromosome rearrangement?

To be able to see the video, download the flash player.

A member of a couple may carry a balanced translocation (exchange of chromosome material between two or more chromosomes), a Robertsonian translocation (the joining of two chromosomes) or other structural rearrangements. This increases the risk for a pregnancy with an unbalanced chromosome complement, which can cause birth defects, mental retardation, and/or miscarriage. PGD for structural chromosome rearrangements allows couples to decrease these risks and to increase the chance of a healthy ongoing pregnancy.

Testimonial

Our desire and your passion for maternity had as a result the birth of two wonderful babies. You helped us not only physically but psychologically also since we never felt uncomfortable or unpleasant at the friendly environment of your center. At the moment besides the satisfaction and the tiredness of motherhood we also feel love and appreciation towards you and your center. A big thank you from my heart.
