Introduction to Chromosome Examination of Test Tube Infants
In vitro baby chromosome examination is a method of chromosome examination of embryos during in vitro fertilization through assisted reproductive technology. This examination can help couples understand whether there are chromosomal abnormalities in embryos, so as to help select healthy embryos and improve the success rate of IVF. The following will introduce the specific steps of the test tube baby chromosome examination and related hospitals.
Select the right hospital
Before the test tube baby chromosome examination, it is necessary to select a regular and experienced hospital for examination. The following are some well-known IVF hospitals in China:
1. Beijing Sino Japan Friendship Hospital: With advanced IVF technology and rich testing experience, it has a special gynecological and reproductive center, which can provide patients with comprehensive chromosome examination services.
2. Shanghai Ruijin Hospital: It has a first-class assisted reproductive technology team in China and a special IVF center, which can provide high-quality chromosome examination services for patients.
3. Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center: The hospital has a relatively complete gynecology and obstetrics and assisted reproductive technology team. It has a special laboratory for chromosome examination, which can provide accurate and reliable examination reports for patients.
Steps of chromosome examination
In vitro baby chromosome examination usually includes the following steps:
1. Fertilization process: through in vitro fertilization technology, sperm and egg are combined to form a fertilized egg.
2. Chromosome collection: After the embryo has developed to a certain extent, doctors will use minimally invasive technology to collect a small part of the embryo cells through amniocentesis or embryonic trophoblasts.
3. Culture and proliferation: the collected cells are cultured and proliferated so that the number of cells is sufficient for chromosome examination.
4. Chromosome examination: by analyzing the chromosome structure and number of cells, we can know whether there are chromosome abnormalities in the embryo, such as Down's syndrome, chromosome number abnormalities, etc.
5. Select healthy embryos: according to the results of chromosome examination, select embryos without chromosomal abnormalities to be transferred into the mother's uterus, so as to improve the success rate of IVF.
summary
Chromosome examination of IVF is an important fertility technology, which can help couples understand whether there are chromosomal abnormalities in embryos, so as to select healthy embryos to improve the survival rate of IVF. Choosing a regular and reliable hospital is the key to ensure the quality of chromosome examination, such as Beijing Sino Japan Friendship Hospital, Shanghai Ruijin Hospital, etc. The steps of chromosome examination include fertilization process, chromosome collection, culture and proliferation, and chromosome examination. It is hoped that this article will be helpful to understand the chromosome examination of IVF.
