Genetics

In IVF Panama we have a Genetics laboratory (BIOGEN) which has the most advanced technology to study genetic embryo, fetus and adult, we know that genetic alterations are a major cause of sterility and infertility and may be responsible for the defects observed in the newborn.
 
Among these, the chromosomal alterations that are responsible for 2.5 % of infant mortality; In addition, these alterations are present in more than 50% of miscarriages in the first trimester.

We are the only institution in the country where the Preimplantion Genetic Diagnosis   (PGD), is performed as a method of primary prevention of birth defects in couples with a high reproductive risk of transmitting disease to offspring.
 
Different genetic techniques:

• Molecular analysis techniques
• Molecular cytogenetic studies techniques
• Technical studies using FISH
• Genetic consultation service
