Mitochondrial DNA Testing
Mitochondrial activity screening with the aid of the same biopsy sample is used for effecting pre-implantation genetic screening (PGS). There is no need for the embryos to be exposed to any sort of interventions, apart from the ones already linked with routine chromosomal screening, which in turn is linked with genetic screening.
Mitochondrial activity screening offers the following possible advantages:
• escalated implantation and pregnancy rates after IVF/PGS procedures
• a decrease in the number of multiple gestations in case, one embryo is chosen for transfer
• improvement in regard to the information available at our disposal on embryo health, not to mention the added information concerning morphological observations and genetic screening.
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...
