Genetics
Statistically, more than 20% of pregnancies end in miscarriage in the early stages and 1-1.6% of children are born with birth defects and hereditary diseases. Even though a miscarriage may have various causes, more than 80% of miscarriages happen because of genetic abnormalities. While planning a pregnancy it is possible to find out if there is any risk of your future baby having genetic disorders with the use of genetic tests. Furthermore, invasive techniques of diagnosis can help learn a lot about the health of the fetus in much more detail.
The following genetic tests are available in our clinic:
- HorizonTM – a non-invasive testing technique with the capability to detect 274 chromosomal disorders. It can be done either when you are planning for pregnancy, or on its early stages.
- Panorama - a non-invasive testing technique with the capability to detect the fetus’s chromosomal disorders and microdeletions. It is performed in the 9th week of pregnancy.
- Vistara – allows accurate diagnosis of all abnormalities caused by monogenic mutations in 30 genes, that are impossible to detect by any other examinations.
- Anora – a diagnostic technique that allows to thoroughly examine the fetal tissue after a miscarriage in order to correctly determine its cause. It detects missing or duplicated chromosomes, deleted fragments of chromosomes and disomies, as well as estimates the risk of a molar pregnancy.

She addressed the problem of PCOS and the lack of pregnancy. The doctor listened, examined, questioned in detail, and identified the problem. I am a general practitioner myself, and I was pleasantly surprised by the professionalism. Let's go for IVF!
