Genetic Testing

Genetic Testing in Fertility Care: Ensuring Healthy Beginnings

At Rotunda Hygeia, we believe in giving your baby the best possible start. That’s why we offer advanced genetic testing as part of your fertility treatment — to help identify potential genetic conditions, improve IVF success rates, and reduce the risk of inherited disorders.

What is Genetic Testing?

Genetic testing involves analyzing your or your embryos’ DNA to detect abnormalities in the chromosomes or genes that may affect fertility, pregnancy, or the baby’s health.

We recommend genetic testing for couples who:

  • Have a family history of genetic disorders.
  • Have experienced multiple miscarriages.
  • Have repeated IVF failures.
  • Are older (maternal age 35+).
  • Have unexplained infertility.

Types of Genetic Tests We Offer

At Rotunda Hygeia, we provide several cutting-edge genetic tests:

1️⃣ Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT)

Performed on embryos during IVF before transfer to the uterus, to select the healthiest embryos.

  • PGT-A (for Aneuploidy): Checks for abnormal chromosome numbers, reducing miscarriage risk.
  • PGT-M (for Monogenic diseases): Detects specific inherited diseases like Thalassemia, Cystic Fibrosis, etc.
  • PGT-SR (for Structural Rearrangements): Identifies translocations or inversions in chromosomes.

2️⃣ Carrier Screening

Checks if parents are carriers of genetic disorders that could pass to their baby.

3️⃣ Karyotyping

Analyzes the size, shape, and number of chromosomes in the parents.

4️⃣ Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)

Once pregnant, this test screens for common chromosomal disorders in the fetus through a simple maternal blood test.
