PRE-GENETIC TESTING

Infertility affects around 10-15 % of couples and the incidence is much higher in females with advanced age of more than 35 years ( >25%). Also the causes of infertility are different in a couple with advanced age of female partner as compared with a young couple. It is a well known fact that female infertility declines with age and chances of miscarriage are also increased in a women with advanced age. The most important reason for this is the embryonic defects which is mainly due to the defective oocyte quality. So to help these group of patients in achieving a successful pregnancy, we can offer them this newer technology of preimplantation genetic screening. This technique is also a boon for the couples with recurrent IVF failures and recurrent abortions.

Whom to offer – This technique can be offered to patients with following issues

1) Couples with advanced age of female partner (>35 years)

2) Couples with recurrent abortions.

3) Either of the partner is suffering from any single gene disorder or any chromosomal disorder.

4) Patients with recurrent ivf failures.

5) Couples with a previous child affected by any genetic disease.

Procedure Methodology

This procedure needs technical expertise and needs to be done by an embryologist who is skilled enough to carry out the procedure. The couple undergoes an ivf cycle and the resultant embryos are then subjected to biopsy. This can be done on either a day 3 embryo ( 8-cell stage), or a day 5 embryo ( blastocyst stage), however biopsy done at blastocyst stage is preferred. So the technique involves creating a small hole in the outer covering of an embryo ( also known as zona pellucida) with the help of non-contact laser, followed by a biopsy of 1-2 blastomeres from a day 3 embryo or 8 to 10 cells from the trophoectoderm layer of a day 5 embryo.

These cells then undergo genetic analysis either using a FISH technique ( 5 chromosomes including no 13,18,21 X and Y) or CGH array ( entire 23 pair of chromosomes are checked). Since it takes some 10 to 15 days for the results to come, so we need to freeze all embryos followed by the transfer of a genetically normal embryo in the next cycle.

Advantages

This technique is definitely advantageous for those couples with advanced age because it has been observed that as many as 50 percent of grade 1 embryos might not be genetically normal, so when we select them according to their ploidy status, we can improve the ivf outcome and can give them a healthy pregnancy.

Also the patient can go for a single embryo transfer without compromising the success and hence we can reduce the burden of multiple pregnancy and the complications associated with it.

PGT-A, PGT-M and PGT-SR.

PGT-A

This type of PGT identifies chromosomal abnormalities. Each parent contributes their biological material resulting in 23 chromosomes from each (46 chromosomes or 23 pairs). If the embryo cell is missing a chromosome or there is an extra chromosome it’s called aneuploidy, the β€œA” in β€œPGT-A”. A missing chromosome is monosomy, and an additional chromosome is trisomy.

Aneuploidy is one of the leading causes of miscarriage and failed IVF. An embryo can only survive one type of monosomy. Turner’s syndrome which is the absence of one of the X chromosomes. Trisomy may result in a live birth however the baby may have Down syndrome or the more devastating pate syndrome or Edward syndrome in which the baby only survives a short time.

PGT-M

This test looks for a known gene mutation which the biological parent carries. A family history of a genetic condition provides the cause for PGT-M. When a genetic disorder involves a single specific gene it’s due to a mutation in the DNA sequence. Some of these gene mutations cause cystic fibrosis or sickle cell disorder. Some genes identify a high risk for developing certain cancers such as breast or ovarian cancers (BRCA-1 or BRCA-2). Other common gene mutations discovered via PGT-M:

 

  • Huntington’s Disease
  • Tay-Sachs Disease
  • Muscular Dystrophy
  • Fragile-X Syndrome

PGT-SR

Doctors refer to this testing as PGT-SR because the SR stands for structural rearrangements. Biological parents with a known structural rearrangement have inverted or translocated chromosomes. These individuals produce embryos without the correct amount of chromosomal material. That results in loss of the pregnancy. Your doctor recommends PGT-SR if you’ve experienced multiple miscarriages.

If your test reveals a structural rearrangement, you may benefit from donor eggs or sperm.

 

What is Non-Invasive Chromosomal Screening NICS?

Non-invasive chromosomal screening (NICS) is a breakthrough emerging technology in fertility industry. NICS enables us to identify genetically normal embryos to be transferred into the mother’s uterus (womb) and most importantly – without needing an embryo biopsy. By doing so, we avoid unnecessary embryo transfers with genetically abnormal embryos. This indirectly increases success rate of the IVF cycle. In summary – it reduces the time to pregnancy.

Which couples get benefitted with NICS?

  • Couples with mother over the age of 35
  • Women who had recurrent pregnancy loss
  • Women who had multiple (>2) failed IVF cycles
  • Couples with family history of genetic issues
  • Couples with previous genetically affected baby

What happened during NICS procedure?

  • Initial 3 days is same as any Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
  • Well progressed embryos are cultured individually until 5 days.
  • As the embryo evolves, the cell free DNA from the blastocytes cells spread into the culture media.
  • A very tiny amount (20 microliters) of this culture medium is sent to the genetic lab for testing chromosomal makeup.
  • The embryo is left undistributed and is frozen in liquid nitrogen at -1970
  • No biopsy done.

How long does the report take?

Report can take up to 3-4 weeks.

What does the report say?

Report may say

  • Embryo is normal and suitable/recommended for embryo transfer
  • Embryo is abnormal and not suitable/not recommended for embryo transfer
  • Embryo is mosaic (slightly abnormal) and is recommended for embryo transfer with caution. In such cases, once the woman is pregnant up to 4 months, fluid around the baby is sent for chromosomal screening (amniocentesis and karyotyping)

What are the benefits of NICS Procedure

  • Non-traumatic and effective method for screening the embryos
  • Does not affect the embryo (Non-Invasive)
  • Increases chances of successful implantation of embryo
  • Saves time of unsuccessful pregnancies and avoidable visits
  • Alternative to invasive embryo biopsy (PGT-A)

Difference between PGT-A and NICS

Preimplantation genetic testing for anomalies (PGT-A) is an invasive embryo biopsy procedure which involves taking a biopsy of few cells from Day 5 embryo i.e., the blastocytes.

  • PGT is an invasive procedure and the NICS is Noninvasive.
  • PGT requires embryo biopsy, NICS does not involve embryo biopsy.
  • In PGT-A few cells from outer layer of the blastocyst stage embryo are sent for genetic testing, where as in NICS embryo is untouched and the culture medium is sent for genetic screening.
  • NICS is a safer procedure and gives equal success rates and long-term outcomes and safety of the offspring as in comparison with PGT-A, with no biopsy.

Divakar nigam

After years trying to conceive, several losses, multiple failed from other fertility clinics with a frustrating diagnosis. I and my wife finally took descision to visit India and decided to choose Indira IVF fertility centre ( Noida , uttar Pradesh). When things aren't working right and you are struggling to get pregnant, this is the doctor you want on your side. Dr. Mandavi Rai is the perfect combination of knowledge and empathy. Each challenge she encounters, she attacks head on, and trust me, my case has a few of them! The phrase " Give up" is not in her vocabulary. She will find a solution. Dr Mandavi Rai's manner is wonderful. Now about staff .... Some of the best people you will ever know. They are all very knowledgeable in their field, treat you with kindness and respect, and makes themselves available for any questions and concerns, oftentimes going above beyond their job description to help you out.πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Manjil Mandal

I had the best time with Dr Mandavi and her team from day one. She is so goood I can't explain in words. Before her I had consulted quite a few others doctors but I couldn't continue with any of them. Dr Mandavi is calm doctor who listens to concerns even if you ask a thousand times and never rushes into conclusions. She will take time to explain and then will help us make our decision. She has became nothing less than my family member and truly cherish my relationship with her. A big portion of her being the way she is goes to the wonderful team she has who are equally responsive, available at midnight, caring and super supportive. I am very thankful to Yamini ji, Monika ji and Prabhat ji and even Wasim ji who always gave a warm smile in my journey. I am very very thankful to everyone and spl Dr Mandavi for just being there for me then and even now and always going forward. Thanks a lot & God bless.

Vedprakash Sharma

I am (Priyanka Rani) sharing my feedback here about Indira IVF Centre. There is no doubt about giving a 5-star rating because Dr. Madam and all the staff are very helpful. They guide us every time, when we needed them (some times on calls or what's up as well). I conceived my pregnancy on my first attempt after six years of marriage. Thanks a lot to Indira IVF (Dr. Mandavi Rai and her staff). It's just advice for Indira IVF call centre that it should be clear on the phone that all the IVF package details are given, and after using medicine, an approximate idea of the amount should be given because some times every person cannot cover medicine and injections after taking the IVF package. Because every person can not do the google for more details and can not contact to their relatives.

Piku Rani

I am so thankful to Dr mandavi rai is so experienced in her field. She is the best consultant in noida. My wife conceived after ΰ₯§ΰ₯« years of our marriage.
