祖传的癫痫病做第三代试管婴儿基因遗传有用吗?
Three months of preparation for pregnancy did not get pregnant, go to the hospital to do a checkup, found that there are fallopian tube blockage, did surgery to unblock, but the effect is not good, so decided to do IVF, in the Internet, found that the third generation of IVF can be screened for genetic genetic diseases. My husband has epilepsy that runs in the family, but it is not serious, and I want to ask if epilepsy can be avoided by genetic testing for third generation IVF?
Question Analysis:
Third-generation IVF is also called preimplantation genetic diagnosis and screening technology, which can analyze the genetic material of the cultivated embryos to determine whether there is any abnormality, and at the same time, it can screen out the healthy embryos for transplantation, and this technology is suitable for the population of patients with family genetic diseases and chromosomal anomalies.
If your husband suffers from epilepsy which is inherited from his family, if you get pregnant normally, you are likely to pass this disease to the next generation, and the third generation IVF can completely eliminate this situation, so it is better to do the third generation IVF in your case.
At present, there are many hospitals in China that can do third-generation IVF, such as the Third Hospital of Peking University, Shanxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital, Shenyang Women's and Infants' Hospital, Heping Branch of the General Hospital of the Northern Theater of Operations, and the First Hospital of Jilin University, etc. These hospitals are the hospitals that can carry out the third-generation IVF technology and have the strongest comprehensive strength, and these hospitals are elected to choose you to go through IVF at the Third Hospital of Peking University for the following three reasons. The reasons are these three points:
1, the hospital is China's first case of IVF birth place, at the same time took China's first step in the field of IVF, its long history of development, the hospital case rich, the hospital can solve a lot of difficult problems in the field of IVF.
2, the hospital's baby success rate is one of the highest success rates in the country, in 2025 the hospital's IVF success rate is as high as 55% or more, choose the hospital to do IVF successful pregnancy chances are very high.
3, although the hospital has a high IVF success rate and the comprehensive strength of the hospital is very strong, but the cost of IVF in this hospital is not much different from the average cost of IVF in China, so it is very cost-effective to do IVF in the Third Hospital of Peking University.
Can third generation IVF determine the sex of the child?
Technically speaking the third generation IVF technology can screen the gender, but the national law is not allowed to consider screening the gender. You have a genetic disease in your family and your doctor has recommended that you choose IVF to avoid infecting your baby, not to select the gender. Fetal sex determination is explicitly prohibited in China, mainly to maintain the normal sex ratio between men and women. In China, gender selection is subject to legal constraints, and requires specific medical conditions and relevant procedures and applications to do this gender selection, otherwise it is illegal.
In conclusion, from a technical point of view, the third generation IVF technique allows sex selection, but only when there is a possibility of abnormalities in the sex chromosomes of the offspring with serious consequences. Essentially, the third-generation IVF technique selects for disease, not gender. It exists to eliminate genetic diseases and improve the health of the offspring. Highlights:Our laws clearly stipulate that non-medical identification of the sex of the fetus is strictly prohibited. Boys and girls are both treasures, and having a healthy baby is most important!
