Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) in Cyprus Fertina IVF Clinic
About the clinic
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) at Cyprus Fertina IVF Clinic in Famagusta, Northern Cyprus, checks the chromosomal health of embryos before uterine transfer. The clinic offers rapid genetic analysis, providing results within 3 to 4 hours to allow same-day embryo selection and transfer. This diagnostic process uses advanced testing methods to identify numerical and structural abnormalities in embryos.
Diagnostic methods and technology
The clinic utilizes sophisticated genetic analysis tools to evaluate embryos at the day 5 blastocyst stage. These methods help identify specific conditions such as Down, Edwards, Patau, Turner, and Klinefelter syndromes.
- Next-generation sequencing (NGS). Performed on Illumina platforms for detailed chromosomal analysis.
- 5-color FISH. A specialized method used for aneuploidy screening (PGT-A).
- Trophectoderm biopsy. Cells are safely sampled from the embryo on day 5 of development.
- Comprehensive screening. Evaluates chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X, and Y for abnormalities.
Genetic testing variants
Cyprus Fertina IVF Clinic provides different types of PGD based on the patient's medical history and needs. These examinations are often recommended for those with recurrent pregnancy loss, advanced maternal age, or known hereditary diseases.
- PGT-A. Screens for aneuploidy or an abnormal number of chromosomes.
- PGT-SR. Identifies structural rearrangements in the embryo's genetic makeup.
- PGT-M. Specifically targets monogenic or single-gene diseases.
Clinic accreditation and setting
Cyprus Fertina IVF Clinic is ISO certified and holds recognition from the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE). The facility functions as a specialized center for reproductive genetics, integrating an on-site laboratory to achieve same-day results. This setting reduces the time embryos spend outside a controlled environment before transfer. Patients can request a consultation to learn more about PGD through Bookimed.

Cyprus Fertina IVF Clinic: more details about the clinic
Fertina IVF is a fertility clinic in Famagusta, Northern Cyprus. It opened in 2012 and operates from a single building with three medical departments. The clinic focuses on evidence-based fertility care and coordinated treatment planning.
Accreditations and Achievements
The clinic meets international standards in reproductive medicine. It holds certification from the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) and is recognized by Top Doctors.
Fertina IVF reports high success rates across its main procedures:
- 99% for gender selection
- 89% for embryo donation
- 85% for egg donation
- 72% for sperm donation
- 69% for standard IVF cycles
Labs and procedure rooms follow strict ISO-certified protocols.
Reproductology and Assisted Reproduction
Dr. Erman Sever, a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology, leads the medical team. Ali Kızılkanat heads the embryology laboratory. He has over 25 years of experience in assisted reproduction.
The team offers several fertilization and retrieval methods:
- Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
- Cytoplasmic transfer to improve embryo implantation potential
- Testicular sperm aspiration (TESA) for obstructive azoospermia
- Surgical testicular sperm extraction (TESE)
- Embryo transfer on Day 3 or Day 5
Fertility preservation is available through egg freezing using vitrification. This rapid freezing technique prevents ice crystal formation. Patients may also choose embryo cryopreservation for future family planning.
Advanced Genetics and Diagnostics
Fertina IVF uses advanced screening to support embryo selection. This helps patients with recurrent miscarriage or advanced maternal age. Genetic services include:
- Next-generation sequencing (NGS) for embryo assessment
- Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) to identify chromosomal abnormalities
- Sperm DNA fragmentation evaluation
- Hysteroscopy to examine the uterine cavity
Specialists use NGS platforms like Illumina to analyze sequencing libraries. These tools identify genetic variants before embryo transfer.
Obstetrics and Gynecological Care
The clinic supports patients beyond early pregnancy stages. The Women's Health Department manages vaginal deliveries and Cesarean sections. Dr. Erman Sever oversees these services after completing his residency at Kocaeli University Hospital. Diagnostic laparoscopy is available to examine and remove ovarian cysts.
International Patient Services
A coordination team manages international patient needs. The clinic assigns each patient a single International Patient Coordinator. Support is available in several languages:
- English and French
- Arabic and Turkish
- Russian and Albanian
Patients can access online consultations to review their medical history before traveling. The clinic helps with accommodation bookings and airport transfers from Ercan and Larnaca airports. After treatment, the team provides 24/7 support and specific guidance for the first 48 hours following embryo transfer.
