Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) and Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)

Improves in vitro fertilization (IVF) success rates by optimizing embryo selection. PGD can screen embryos when there is a risk of severe genetic disorders being inherited from parents.

Cytogenetics

Identifies chromosomal aberrations responsible for genetic conditions that can cause developmental delay and/or congenital abnormalities.

Noninvasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)

Delivers early, safe, and reliable answers about the chromosomal status of a developing fetus—minimizing procedure-related risks from invasive tests.

Inherited Condition Screening

Helps detect carrier status or aid cystic fibrosis diagnosis or research the potential causes of undiagnosed inherited conditions.

Changing reproductive destinies by optimizing embryo selection.

PGS—the new standard of success in IVF.While IVF has improved the treatment of infertility, its overall success rate remains low.1 Embryos with aneuploidy represent a major reason for IVF failure—causing problems with implantation or resulting in miscarriage within the first trimester.2,3

PGS is an effective method to screen for euploid embryos prior to implantation to significantly improve IVF success rates.4

The PGS advantage

• Increased implantation rates—regardless of maternal age5,6

• Lower risk of miscarriage5,7

• Increased rates of ongoing pregnancy and live births4,5,7

• Reduced chance of offspring with aneuploidy8

What’s more, PGS can shorten the time needed to achieve success—reducing the number and cost of unproductive IVF cycles. PGS also empowers infertility experts to use single embryo transfers as a way of reducing the incidence of multiple births, which can be both complicated and costly, especially in women of advanced maternal age.4,5,7 With PGS, the overall result may be greater patient satisfaction and higher referral rates to IVF centers that routinely offer this option to their prospective parents.

For Research Use Only

PGD—helping prevent serious gene disorders from being passed on.PGD offers the powerful ability to screen for two important types of genetic defects. First, it can identify single-gene genetic conditions, such as cystic fibrosis (CF), sickle-cell anemia, and certain forms of muscular dystrophy, among others. This can help families avoid passing on a serious inherited disease to their offspring. PGD is also capable of screening embryos for chromosomal translocation disorders likely to cause miscarriage. This application may be especially valuable to couples with a history of miscarriage, which may be related to an inherited unbalanced translocation.

Our proprietary PGD screening solutions include:

• karyomapping—the most informative, genome-wide, single-cell test available, giving couples at risk of serious inherited diseases a new level of control over their reproductive destinies

• 24sure+™ Microarray—screen for chromosomal translocations that can cause miscarriage—ensuring only embryos with no overall gain or loss of chromosome segments are transferred

The reassurance of knowing— simply, safely, sooner.

NIPT—reliable answers about fetal chromosomal status, without the risks of invasive procedures.

NIPT represents a major advance in prenatal testing, providing accurate information about fetal chromosomal status as early as 10 weeks gestation. It can detect the most common fetal chromosomal aneuploidies, with near-diagnostic accuracy, using a single maternal blood draw. In fact, NIPT is proven to be more accurate than traditional screening methods—even in a general obstetrical population.9

NIPT delivers reliable answers early and easily, providing parents with the peace of mind they need to make informed choices. NIPT also helps reduce the need for invasive procedures, such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS). This is particularly meaningful for couples who’ve undergone fertility treatment.

The verifi® prenatal test is performed by Illumina in its Redwood City, California, CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited clinical testing laboratory. This test was developed by Illumina, and its performance characteristics were deter-mined by Illumina. This test has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

For Research Use Only

Advanced cytogenetic microarrays— for a clearer view of genes.

Cytogenetic testing—empowering deeper research into the causes of complex disorders.

Our industry-leading chromosomal microarrays include:

• CytoChip™ Arrays—Provide a greater understanding of the relevance and impact of chromosomal aberrations on complex diseases

• Infinium® CytoSNP-850K Beadchip—Offers comprehensive coverage of relevant dosage-sensitive genes for profiling chromosomal abnormalities—providing accurate cytogenetic data and capabilities that exceed standard cytogenetic analyses

Chromosomal abnormalities are a common cause of developmental delay and congenital conditions. These include syndromes, such as Down syndrome, DiGeorge syndrome, and Cri-Du-Chat syndrome, as well as other rarer microdeletion or microduplication disorders. Prenatal and postnatal cytogenetic research can allow for further insight into chromosomal aberrations.

Identifying inherited conditions to make a difference for generations.

Detecting undiagnosed inherited conditions—for individual answers that affect an entire family.

Some inherited diseases may be immediately obvious at birth, while others may not be. Yet when such conditions run in a family, you want to be able to make a definitive diagnosis and provide reliable answers and peace of mind for everyone involved.

Many recessive, pediatric-onset Mendelian disorders are due to pathogenic mutations found in coding exons and intron-exon boundaries. NGS technology has been successful in finding causal variants of many such inherited and rare conditions.

Recognizing carriers of inherited conditions.

The ability to determine an individual’s carrier status for an inherited condition can be particularly empowering to a prospective parent concerned about passing on a genetic disorder. Carrier screening, in conjunction with genetic counseling of carriers, is an effective way to ensure genetic disease risk is detected early—preferably prior to conception. NGS expands carrier screening for mutations with potential links to genetic disease.11
