Genetic Causes of Infertility – Chromosomal Abnormalities Affecting Fertility
At Genesiss Multispeciality Hospital, we provide specialized care for individuals and couples facing infertility due to genetic or chromosomal abnormalities. These conditions can affect sperm production, egg quality, embryo development, or hormonal balance, making natural conception difficult. Our advanced diagnostic tools, genetic counseling, and assisted reproductive technologies (ART) help patients understand their condition and explore safe, effective treatment options tailored to their unique needs.
Problems / Concerns Addressed:
- Chromosomal Abnormalities in Men: Klinefelter syndrome, Y-chromosome microdeletions, and other genetic conditions affecting sperm count and function.
- Chromosomal Abnormalities in Women: Turner syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, and translocations that impact ovarian function or egg quality.
- Recurrent Miscarriages: Often linked to chromosomal imbalances in embryos.
- Inherited Genetic Disorders: Risk of passing on genetic conditions to children.
- Unexplained Infertility: Sometimes related to subtle or undetected genetic mutations.
Treatments / Services Offered:
- Genetic Testing & Counseling: Comprehensive evaluations to identify chromosomal causes of infertility.
- Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART): IVF, ICSI, and advanced lab techniques for fertilization.
- Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT): Screening embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before implantation.
- Donor Options: Use of donor sperm or eggs when severe genetic factors are present.
- Supportive Care: Emotional counseling and long-term family planning guidance.
FAQs:
What are the common genetic causes of infertility?
Conditions such as Klinefelter syndrome, Y-chromosome microdeletions, Turner syndrome, and translocations can lead to infertility in men and women.
How is genetic infertility diagnosed?
Through blood tests, karyotyping, genetic panels, and specialized fertility testing.
Can couples with genetic infertility still have children?
Yes, with the help of ART and preimplantation genetic testing, many couples can conceive healthy children.
Is genetic testing necessary for all infertility cases?
Not always. It is recommended in cases of recurrent miscarriages, very low sperm count, or suspected inherited conditions.
What is the role of preimplantation genetic testing (PGT)?
PGT helps identify healthy embryos by screening out chromosomal abnormalities before implantation during IVF.
