Genetics
Genetics is the branch of biology that studies how biological inheritance is transmitted from parents to children and how our body works. Learn the details of the specialty and the latest avant-garde. The transmission of diseases and what we can do at Instituto Bernabeu to detect them and prevent them from being transmitted to new generations. As well as the new tests and firsts that arise from our lines of research.
Ethics and good practice: Let the truth be told
Assisted Human Reproduction is undoubtedly an area with ethical and moral implications. There are common issues that arise with the generation of new embryos when a couple undergoes ART and with transfers of previously frozen […]
Genetic Health of the Embryo: Science Applied to Life
This is not science fiction, it’s reality. It is reproductive medicine and advanced genetics together to achieve healthy children who are free of diseases. Before, medicine focused on a person’s health. Now thanks to genetics […]
Genetic incompatibility between the couple, does it exist?
It is estimated that about 20% of reproductive problems are genetic or chromosomal type. That is why today genetic testing is an essential part of the fertility study in couples who come to our clinic […]
Can we avoid the Genetic Ammiocentesis?
Genetic Amniocentesis is a prenatal diagnostic technique aimed at obtaining fetal karyotype. The karyotype is the number of chromosomes that are endowed with all people. Normal people we have 46 chromosomes distributed in 23 pairs […]
Genetic approach to embryo implantation failure and repeated miscarriage
Couples that don’t achieve pregnancy after in vitro fertilization treatments and those who lose their pregnancy in early stages require a multidisciplinary approach in order to diagnose and treat their reproductive problem. From a […]
The contribution of array CGH towards treating patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF)
Couples who do not get pregnant following in vitro fertilisation treatment and couples who experience pregnancy loss during the early stages of pregnancy, require interdisciplinary guidance in order to diagnose and treat their particular reproductive […]
Using Magnetic Fields to Select Healthy Sperm: MACS (Magnetic Activated Cell Sorting)
It is well known that having the best possible sperm quality is important to the success of assisted reproduction techniques. To achieve this, the lab has to improve sperm quality based on its motility and […]
Instituto Bernabeu Pregnancy Guarantee programme
“WE’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT STATISTICS, WE ENSURE YOUR PREGNANCY.” Instituto Bernabeu has always been loyal to its patient care philosophy, and is even more so now in these current hard times, by planning and implementing […]
PGD /PGTA Array-CGH: Discovering the miracles of the embryo
New technologies are making extraordinary progress in fertility diagnostics. One of the latest advances incorporated into the range of diagnostic techniques is called array-CGH. This genetic test allows us to analyze our cells’ DNA to […]
Indications of Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is a new technique used in Reproductive Medicine and is one of the main sources of innovation and research. PGD allows embryos to be selected from assisted reproduction cycles and tested […]
