In addition to helping women and couples on fulfilling their dream of becoming a family, Eva takes care of the future baby’s health. Hence, every couple can choose to have a Genetic compatibility test at our clinic.
Despite both members of the couple are healthy and not affected by any genetic disease, they can still be carriers of such diseases. In case that both parents have the same gene mutation, there is a 25% chance that their future child will develop this pathology.
Although you may not realize it, almost everyone is carrier of several genetic mutations. In recessive diseases, mutations might go unnoticed so there would be a risk to affect the child if both parents have the same gene mutation.
The Genetic compatibility test provides information about the genetic endowment of both mother and father regarding different diseases caused by recessive genes. This genetic analysis is based on a blood test which allows detecting more than 300 inherited recessive diseases. In this way, parents can discover if there are probabilities for their child to inherit this disease thus avoid it. There are two options to conceive a child free of this pathology:
- IVF with Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD): The IVF is associated to a genetic analysis on embryos to rule out those which could develop this disease.
- Donation of gametes: another option is choosing an assisted reproduction treatment with sperm or egg donors. The gamete selected is the one which is not carrier of the same disease as the parents.
The Genetic compatibility test is recommended for all those couples who are trying to have a baby and want to avoid the risk of transmitting any disease to their future child. If the risk does exist, the assisted reproduction specialist will explain the patients the best option for each case.
At Eva Clinics the medical consultation is always free of charge. The medical team will focus on your case in order to provide clear and simple explanation about the Genetic compatibility test without any obligation. Once the results of tests are obtained, the fertility specialist will propose the appropriate fertility treatment adapted to each patient’s case.
