Thalassaemia Carrier Couple Successfully Delivered a Healthy Baby Boy through genetic testings PGD /PGS
Advanced Technologies in Fertility Treatment brings hope for Thalassaemia couple
SELANGOR, August 9, 2016 — Alpha Fertility Centre (AFC) has made another significant milestone with its fertility treatment when Mr and Mrs Ong joyously welcomed the arrival of their healthy baby boy, weighing 3.58 kg. The baby boy who was successfully delivered last month, Sunday 9th July 2016 is in perfectly healthy condition despite the fact that both his parents are Alpha Thalassaemia carriers. This is the first successful case of a healthy newborn from both Alpha Thalassaemia carrier parents with Alpha Thalassaemia in Malaysia through the concurrent use of Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) and Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) with Ion Torrent Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) which were performed on a single platform using a single biopsy.

Still, it has not stopped some couples from trying to determine the gender of their babies using unauthenticated means such as sexual positions, having intercourse during certain times of the month or taking bizarre foods. This is especially true for couples with secondary infertility (inability to conceive again after the first child) or those with a string of sons or daughters. The advent of Microsort® (USA) proved to be a game-changer for couples who are serious about gender balancing. The scientifically-proven preconception technology increases the likelihood of having a baby of a specific gender by separating the sperm based on the chromosome they are carrying (X - Chromosome or Y – Chromosome). This process is called Microsort®. (more…)MOST NUMBER OF IVF BABIES GATHERING IN AN EVENT IN MALAYSIA 2016
