Every couple dreams of having children in their home. But many times due to mental and physical problems, many couples are deprived of this happiness. In such a situation, couples often resort to in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Due to IVF, lakhs of infertile couples have been able to have children. Every day there are changes in this technique. Now you can also find out before birth whether the child has any genetic disease or not. To avoid this, you can also get a genetic test done. This testing plays an important role in IVF. It also tells which disease the child may have in the future and which he may not.
What happens in a genetic disease?
Genetic binaries are abnormalities in a person’s DNA. These disorders can range from single gene mutations to complications in chromosomes. Normal genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis, Huntington’s disease, and sickle cell anemia can be associated with the disease. These disorders can also include autosomal dominant disorders, autosomal recessive disorders, and X-linked disorders.
IVF due to genetic disorder
Genetic disorders can also affect your IVF. Couples who are at risk of getting this disease can be protected from this disease by having a child through IVF.
Genetic Counseling
Genetic disorder is a serious disease. When a couple undergoes IVF, those couples are given genetic counseling. In this, the child is made aware of the genetic diseases. Complete information related to this is given to the child’s parents. So that it will help them in deciding whether they want to continue the pregnancy or not.
Career Screening
Before starting the process of IVF, carrier screening is done for the couples so that the couple can get carrier screening done for which diseases they have. Both the parents should be carriers.
