Partnering to Build
Healthy Families
We
are proud to partner with many of the most respected IVF clinics in the
world. Our success with some of the most complicated diagnoses makes
us well suited to collaborating with you whether the case is straight
forward or complex. Our thoroughness, level of patient care and ability
to deliver test results in 24 hours are the reasons we should be part
of your team on all your cases.
To become a referring
IVF center, contact us by phone or via email so we can set up scheduling,
reporting and access to our
secure encrypted
Internet database. A vast array of genetic diseases can be analyzed by
PGD, but first we must develop, optimize and validate the specific probes
that will be used. For each couple, the probes to be used during PGD
must be tested on single lymphocytes from the parent’s blood before
the cycle is begun. For many of the more common single gene diseases
Genesis Genetics can perform the necessary validation in about two weeks.
For genetic diseases with variable mutations the development, optimization
and validation procedures can take 4-6 weeks. Remember, there is no such
thing as off-the-shelf PGD. A pre-PGD evaluation must be performed before
the cycle begins for all patients.
Forms
and checklists for drawing blood, blood submission, pre-case, and blastomere
biopsy submission are available on the forms page as downloadable
