Inherited Cancer Predisposition

Five out of a hundred people with cancer have inherited a copy of a susceptibility gene. Those people were born with a varyingly increased risk of developing cancer.

Statistically, we all run the risk of developing cancer within the span of our lifetime. In people without an inherited predisposition gene it takes a considerable number of genetic mutations to cause the uncontrolled growth that is cancer. As the genetic changes are accumulated over time, the chances of cancer development increase with age.

PGD for Late-onset Disorders

Some genetic disorders are apparent since birth (Down Syndrome), while others may develop at childhood, adolescence or adult life. Among adult-onset genetic diseases are neurodegenerative conditions (Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s), cardiomyopathies and cancer susceptibilities.

PGD for Chromosome Translocations

Two chromosomal abnormalities − Reciprocal translocations and Robertsonian translocations − may be the reason behind a couple’s infertility. They involve the rearrangement of chromosome fragments.

Reciprocal translocations occur in approximately one out of 625 individuals. Also called non-Robertsonian translocations, they have been associated with male factor infertility. This type of chromosome abnormality has been more frequently found in men with azoospermia and in fewer cases in men with oligozoospermia.

Our desire and your passion for maternity had as a result the birth of two wonderful babies.
