My husband and I had tried to have children for few years when we found out that the only way for me to conceive was through egg donation. In 2005 We contacted a private fertility clinic in Finland and during the next 2 years went through several egg dona

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis of human embryos ( PGD ) is the youngest and most quickly-developing domain of prenatal diagnostics. PGD helps to increase the efficiency of ART for patients who suffer from infertility, and to prevent a hereditary disease in an offspring.

Our clinic has the largest experience of PGD in Russia. In the last 6 years more than 400 IVF cycles with PGD were accomplished.

The most frequent reasons for PGD in our clinic are:

1. Chromosomal rearrangements in one of the partners.
2. Advanced age of the female partner (above 35 y.o.).
3. Three or more miscarriages in early pregnancy.
4. More than two unsuccessful IVF/ICSI treatments.
5. Severe disorders of spermatogenesis.

Currently the following PGD types are provided in our clinic routinely:

• unbalanced chromosome set in embryos of translocation carriers
• common aneuploidies (chromosomes 13, 16, 18, 22, 23, X, Y)
• Detection of the embryo's genetic sex – sex selection
