Gene Tests Available for
Building Healthy Families
The
PGD genetic "probes" we build for our families are custom-designed.
This is because your DNA is unique on the planet. The DNA that the two
of you mix together to make a baby is also unique in the world. The Genesis
Genetics Institute, headed by Mark Hughes, MD, PhD, is known globally
for our ability to test for some of the rarest genetic conditions, as
well as the more common ones. Couples who are at-risk for essentially
any serious inherited disease (we will not test for trivial traits) can
reduce this risk to their offspring by working with our team.
Below
are some of the genetic disorders for which we have successfully performed
PGD. This is in no way a complete list of diseases for which PGD is possible;
we add to this list every week.
The scientists and doctors at Genesis Genetics performed the world's first
PGD, and since that time we have been helping couples for problems with
more genes, causing more inherited illness than anyone else in the world.
If the disease of concern in your family is not listed below, contact
us to determine if Preimplantation Diagnosis is possible.
