Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) in Dr. Esra Cabuk Comert's Clinic

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a specialized screening that examines the chromosomes of embryos for genetic conditions before transfer. At Dr. Esra Cabuk Comert's Clinic in Ankara, Turkey, this diagnostic typically runs between $3,700 and $11,200. The procedure helps identify specific issues like sickle cell disease and is also used for sex selection.

What PGD Detects

This screening checks embryos for genetic abnormalities. A biopsy is performed on the embryo to test its chromosomes. This process helps ensure that only healthy embryos are selected for the transfer stage. Patients can use this test to search for specific hereditary conditions or to determine the sex of the embryo.

The clinic offers a specific package for sickle cell gene searching which may cost around €19,000. This package includes several components:
