Istenhegyi Genetic Diagnostic, Gynaecology and Family Planning Centre offers state-of-the-art molecular biological technologies to detect a variety of bacteria and viruses and to identify individual genetic factors as well as genetic changes and chromosomal mutations that cause predisposition to, or trigger certain diseases.
Prenatal diagnostics helps to prevent the birth of children affected with genetic diseases to parents who belong to a high-risk group. Pre-implantation genetic diagnostics (PGD) is the earliest form of prenatal diagnostics as it involves the genetic testing of the pre-embryo before implantation, from the time of fertilization up to the blastocyst stage.
PGD is recommended when parents are at risk of transmitting a known genetic condition to their future child that would severely impair the child's prospect or quality of life (=high-risk PGD). PGD is considered in cases of monogenic disorders (autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant or X-linked disorders) or the result of a balanced chromosomal translocation.
