I'd like to mention the case of a couple who carries Sickle Cells Anemia. They came to seek our advice of how to have an inherited disease free baby. This has led me come in contact with Superior A.R.T. center and its laboratory services to consult the possibility of PGD-PCR testing. It was a unique case since, as far as I am aware of, this was the first case ever of PGD-PCR testing for Sickle Cells Anemia in Thailand.

Discussing with scientists from Sydney IVF and Superior A.R.T. gave me such a high confidence in this center. Thanks to their prompt response, we were able to provide rapid advice about the most suitable treatment. Following the first talk with the patients, it took us only a few days after to contact Superior A.R.T. and prepare the whole process of treatment starting from Preparation for specific test. I was very impressed by their prompt and efficient services. And it is such a great delight that the treatment resulted in successful conception. She recently delivered a healthy baby girl with the birth weight of 3,700 grams by a cesarean delivery.

At Superior A.R.T., I think Sickle Cells Anemia is only just one example amongst many cases. But it clearly shows that as long as you have or carry a diagnosed genetic problem, you can come and discuss with specialists from Superior A.R.T. and Sydney IVF whether PGD is applicable.

Through PGD – PCR technique, I believe that possibilities will go beyond the treatment of those over 100 diseases presently available at the center. If this technique continues, it is very likely that we can come up with new cases to cope with any of a wide range of other genetic problems. Whatever your hope is, let's try and contact Superior A.R.T. Every success is another prideful and advanced step of our Thai fertility treatment services.

New Hope for Thalassemia carriers

Superior A.R.T is a Genetic Diagnostic center specializing in providing preimplantation genetic diagnostic services which helps identify embryos with genetic abnormalities and allow diseases free embryo to be transferred to the mother’s womb. The center's wide reputation reflects in a number of successful treatments for thalassemia patients as well as its high level of standards accredited by ISO certification.

As for the case in which I come to consult with Superior A.R.T., the patients are a couple who are both carrier of major thalassemia trait which means there's 25% of a chance that their child will inherit the genetic disease. Not wanting to take risk of having their baby affected, they came to Superior A.R.T. for Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis services to have embryo biopsy before being transferred back to the mother. Through assisted conception, they are blessed with successful pregnancy of a healthy baby.

Sharing Patient's Journey
Being aware of family history of thalassemia, with my father as a carrier of E-trait and my mother of ETRA-trait, I've come to realized of a chance that my child will have thalassemia is as high as 25%. To reduce a risk of having my baby affected of thalassemia, I took the doctor's advice of having assisted conception through IVF treatment with the hope to give all the best for my offspring.

Superior provides exceptional level of services with team of counselors who shared with me the case or experiences of other patients'. That really gave us more confidence. Also, they explain all the process and keep monitoring and evaluating every stage of the treatment from the start to delivery. Even after I gave birth, they still keep following the progress and health of my baby on the constant basis.

I would like convey my gratitude to the doctor and all staff at Superior for giving our family such wonderful presents. Now that we have 2 beautiful and healthy children running around, we would always give our thanks to the doctor and all staff in the team." Thank you.

They received IVF treatment and PGD in which genetic material from the embryos is tested to see if they carry the genetic disease. Then only embryos not affected by the disease are transferred to the mother's womb. At the end, they achieved a pregnancy and gave birth to very healthy twin girls.
