Gender Detection

The science of gynecology and obstetrics has gone way ahead of time. The things that seemed impossible years ago are very much possible today and many standard hospitals and Fertility Centers in Florida are doing exquisite jobs to treat patients of all types and with all problems. Among the latest techniques that have caught people’s attention, Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis or PGD is an amazing technique that can help you diagnose the gender of your baby before it is born.

Well, in some countries, the gender detection is banned but if you are residing in a country, where it can be done, you can definitely avail this facility at popular centers like Florida's Palm Beach Fertility. The gender detection is however not the sole aim of preimplantation genetic diagnosis. There are far more advantages that can be sought through this test.

1) You can detect the various genetic abnormalities with PGD
2) Thus, this is very much helpful for parents who have a genetic disorder or have a positive family history for the same.
3) Over 100 genetic disorders ranging from sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis, Huntington disease, leukemias, and even hemophilia can be detected through PGD.
4) While doing this, one can test for presence of x or y chromosome that determines the sex of the baby.

Thus, after completion of IVF cycle, one cell from the fertilized embryo is tested for any DNA mutation. Definitely if anything positive is detected, one can think of termination of pregnancy much in advance than to suffer later!
