Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) Experts
Gene Security Network (GSN) is dedicated to helping doctors give patients the best chance of having a healthy child.
This site is for couples pursuing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) who have one or more of the following issues:
- the female partner is 35 years of age or older
- the couple has had recurrent miscarriages of unknown cause
- a previous child or pregnancy has had a chromosome abnormality
- the couple is concerned about having a child with a chromosome abnormality
- the couple has had a previous unsuccessful IVF cycle
- one member of the couple carries a balanced chromosome translocation or inversion
- the couple is at risk of having a child with an inherited single gene genetic disease
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) Expertise
By combining data from the human genome project with advanced bioinformatics, GSN delivers single cell diagnostics with over ten times greater accuracy than conventional technology.
Parental Support™ is the most comprehensive and accurate testing
If your doctor recommends preimplantation genetic testing during your IVF cycle, Parental Support™ offers the most comprehensive and accurate testing available to IVF Clinics. If you have an increased chance for aneuploidy (chromosome abnormalities), or if you’re already using IVF and wish to increase the chance to have a healthy pregnancy, you should consider testing with Parental Support™.

GSN Provides 3 Separate and Unique Testing Options
Using GSN’s Proprietary Technology, Parental Support™, GSN provides three separate and unique testing options for pre-implantation embryos from an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle:
more1. Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) for Aneuploidy
Screening across 24 chromosomes to detect an abnormal number of chromosomes. An extra or missing chromosome is a common case of implantation failure and miscarriage, or can result in babies with conditions such as Down syndrome.
more2. Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) for Unbalanced Translocations and Inversions
Targeted chromosome testing with concurrent 24-chromosome aneuploidy screening for couples known to carry a balanced structural chromosome rearrangement.
more3. Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) for Single Gene Testing
Testing for one or more disease-linked genes in families with previously identified gene mutations at the same time that aneuploidy screening is performed. Available under a clinical study.
