There is always hope to become happy parents

iVF Riga is the leading and trusty infertility treatment and reproductive genetics clinic in Latvia. Their specialists believe that infertility is not a prison sentence. As modern medicine is developing rapidly, nowadays even serious genetic diseases are not an obstacle in the path to becoming parents of a healthy and happy baby.

Healthy baby despite genetic disease

Even in cases, when the patient or a child has been diagnosed with a genetic disease and there is a great risk of passing it to the next generation, there still is a chance of having a healthy baby.

The unique PGD analysis (preimplantation genetic diagnosis or prenatal diagnosis of monogenic diseases), which is carried out in the genetic laboratory of iVF Riga Reproductive Genetics Center, allows their specialists to make a diagnosis even before pregnancy. This method will confirm or deny the diagnosis of a particular monogenic disease in embryos that have reached the fifth day of development. In addition, it will allow the specialists to select the most viable embryos, thus ensuring the birth of a healthy child.

Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD)

IVF Riga Clinic offers Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) of various confirmed monogenic diseases. The clinic is able to test for the following genetic abnormalities:

• Huntington’s chorea – mutations in the HTT gene
• Achondroplasia - mutations in the FGFR3 gene
• Thoracic Aortic Dissections – mutations in the ACTA2 gene
• Ichthyosis - mutations in the ALOX12B gene
