HRC Fertility Offers Gene Security Parental Control for Embryonic Safety
PASADENA, Calif.-(Business Wire)-September 24, 2009 - Over the past twenty-one years, HRC Fertility has focused on introducing and perfecting new procedures and techniques that are on the cutting edge of reproductive technology. Together with the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART), and Gene Security Network (GSN), HRC Fertility is pleased to bring Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis into mainstream diagnostics.
HRC Fertility has the ability, through GSN’s 24 Chromosome Aneuploidy (extra or missing chromosomes) Screening test with Parental Support™, to obtain DNA fingerprints from both an embryo and the genetic parents, compare them to one another, and confirm they share the same genetic material, in essence, guaranteeing the parents that the embryo is theirs. In the unfortunate case of Carolyn and Sean Savage in Ohio, “had this technology been in place, the mix-up most certainly would have been avoided,” says Daniel Potter, MD, of HRC Fertility.
In addition, the GSN 24 Chromosome Aneuploidy Screening test with Parental Support™ technology enables genetic testing to be completed on all 24 chromosomes of an embryo using just a single cell of DNA, rather than the standard 5-10, delivering highly accurate results. Accurate screening of each embryo across all 24 chromosomes greatly decreases the chance that an aneuploid embryo will be transferred.
