Preimplantation HLA Typing
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis enables the couples who are carriers of genetic diseases to have a healthy child and it has also become a serious option for treatment of children who have genetic (B Thalassemia, Sickle Cell Anemia, Fanconi Anemia, Wiscott-Aldrich Syndrome, Diamond Blackfan Anemia, Gaucher Disease, Alpha Mannosidosis, Adrenoleukodystrophy, SCID) or nongenetic disease (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Aplastic Anemia). While having a healthy child is an important opportunity for these families, PGD additionally provides the option that the child to be born will be suitable to its sick sibling in terms of tissues. Stemcells taken from the healthy and suitable sibling being born in this way are transferred to sick sibling and treatment is provided.
