Medical Genetics
Medical Sciences & Technology go hand-in-hand in this new age. The number of diseases found to have a genetic basis is increasing. So, Medical Genetics plays a vital role in determining the risks of developing certain diseases as well as screening and preventive treatment.
This becomes even more relevant in the diagnosis and management of hereditary disorders and reproductive failures.
The birth of a child with any genetic malformation is a fear that engulfs every expecting parent. Genetics concerns the process of trait inheritance from parents to offspring, including the chromosomes – gene to genome level. Hence any changes in the genetic make-up of parents affect the embryo/Fetus.
Prevention is better than cure!
Genetic diseases are in-borne and cannot be cured but they can always be prevented with timely detection. Therefore, we employ the best Genetics Facility to ensure that we prevent the birth of an anomalous child, repeated miscarriages and repeated IVF failures. Argenomics has been set up with the aim of ensuring healthy pregnancies.
One of the major reasons for the recurring pregnancy losses and IVF failures is a disorder occurring in the endometrium which mainly concerns abnormal gene expressions. Now using the procedure Endometrial Receptor Gene Assay (ERGA), it is possible to...
This is the prenatal genetic testing of foetal chromosomal aneuploidies from Mother’s Blood. We have the credit of being the first centre in the Indian subcontinent to develop in-house Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) which is 99.9% sensiti...

cytogenetics
Cytogenetics refers to the study of chromosome content in a cell. Argenomics has a fully equipped Cytogenetics lab with automated Karyotyping and FISH software. A complete Karyotype including structural chromosomal abnormalities and micro-deletions can be obtained using this facility. FISH is only performed on selected chromosomes. Cytogenetic studies can be done on a variety of samples like Peripheral blood, Amniotic fluid, CVS, and products of conception.

Hereditary Disease
Targeted Mutation Screening is a diagnostic tool completed through blood test that identifies the mutated gene or genes causing a genetic disease in your family. The identification of a gene mutations allows for further steps to be taken to prevent the passing on of the condition to future generations and may aid in the improvement of treatment of an affected individual. In most cases, after identifying the cause of genetic disease the couples can go with a Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) for Single Gene Disorders, a genetic test...

REPRODUCTIVE GENETICS
Preconception genetic testing Pre-Implantation Genetic Screening (PGS) involves a process of screening of embryos in the course of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). This helps to identify abnormalities in the chromosomes occurring due to aneuploidy. The main reason for recurrent IVF failures and in turn pregnancy losses is the higher risk of chromosomal errors that happ...
