Valley Cottage, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/02/2018 -- Preimplantation genetic testing or preimplantation genetic diagnosis is a technique in which the embryos prepared through in vitro fertilization are tested for defects before implantation. Preimplantation genetic testing enables physicians and to identify the defects present in the embryos and selectively implant healthy embryos in the uterus which increases the chances of delivering a genetically healthy baby. Preimplantation genetic testing helps people to avoid the hereditary disorders that prevail in the family to be carried into the baby.

The preimplantation techniques involve various steps like the collection of eggs from the mother or egg donor which are later in vitro fertilized. Fertilized eggs are then tested for various genetic conditions through screening processes. Healthy embryos may be frozen and stored for further use whereas unfit embryos are destroyed. The healthy embryos are implanted to induce pregnancy. Preimplantation genetic testing also serves another purpose like gender selection. However, this application is currently facing several ethical questions. The preimplantation genetic testing is currently is gaining popularity as a fertility treatment option among carriers of sex-linked genetic disorders, single gene donors, people suffering from chromosomal disorders, older women seeking pregnancy and among women who experience recurring abortions.

Preimplantation Genetic Testing Market: Drivers & Restrains

Increasing awareness about preimplantation genetic testing among people suffering from genetic disorders is expected to drive demand for preimplantation genetic testing procedures According to the Global Genes Organization a non – profit organization aimed towards promoting needs of the rare diseases community, there are nearly 7000 distinct rare diseases and genetic or rare diseases affect nearly 350 million people globally. Moreover according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), about 50% people affected by rare diseases are children.

Growing number of people suffering from genetic diseases are expected to increase demand for preimplantation genetic testing procedures in order to have a healthy child. Owing to high pregnancy chances with preimplantation genetic testing procedure as compared to other fertility treatments the demand for PGI testing is expected to witness high demand among people seeking IVF treatments. Increasing applications for preimplantation genetic testing for diagnosis of diseases like cancer and other minor disabilities like deafness is expected to create high growth opportunities for preimplantation genetic testing market stakeholders. Even though the preimplantation genetic testing market promises a health growth, restraints like the ethical issues related to preimplantation genetic testing and stringent regulatory policies may hamper the revenue growth of the market. Socio – economic concerns related to sex determination and sex discrimination of the embryo are rising issues that might restraint the development of technology in preimplantation genetic testing market.
