With the continuous development of science and technology, medical technology is also constantly advancing, ivory infant is an assisted reproductive technology has developed from the first and second generations to the third generation, and there may be a fourth generation in the future. Beilai Fertility Center said that the current cost of the latest third-generation IVF is a matter of great concern to everyone, because it is more expensive than the first and second generations, the technology is more advanced, and genetic screening can also be carried out, that is to say, some diseases can be detected, so what diseases can be screened?
How much does a three-generation test tube cost
The price of the third generation of IVF costs will not be much more expensive than the first and second generations, generally around 30,000-50,000 yuan, if you want to succeed, many people The total cost of the third generation of IVF is about 100,000 yuan. Because the method of insemination of three generations of IVF is to use the intra-plasma injection technology of single sperm follicle, it is also more expensive than that of first and second generation IVF. There is also a need for embryo freezing and embryo resuscitation, so the cost of three generations of IVF is increased.
In addition, it is impossible to determine how much the third generation of IVF costs each person, because there are many factors. If only one egg retrieval is successful and a smooth implantation is achieved, the cost will be relatively low. If multiple egg retrievals are required plus the use of imported drugs, the cost is relatively high.
Three-generation test tubes can screen for what diseases
Three-generation IVF generally prevents autosomal dominant diseases, autosomal recessive diseases, X-linked dominant diseases, X-linked recessive diseases, polygenic genetic diseases, and chromosomally related genetic diseases. For example, adrenal leukodystrophy, adrenal dysplasia, hemoglobinemia, haemoglobinemia, ocular albinism, albinism-deafness syndrome, granulomatosis, hemophilia A, hemophilia B, hydrocephalus, hypophosphatemic rickets and so on.
According to relevant statistics, there are more than 4,000 kinds of genetic diseases in the world, and about 125 genetic diseases that can be screened and detected by PGD/PGS technology before embryo transfer through the third generation of IVF technology can be identified.
In short, the cost of three generations of test tubes is determined according to personal circumstances, although the three generations of test tubes can screen for many genetic diseases, but also to meet the relevant conditions to be able to do, not because the three generations of test tubes are more advanced, want to do it can do.
The third generation of IVF is generally suitable for chromosomal abnormalities, ungene genetic diseases, elderly women, unexplained repeated spontaneous abortion, unexplained repeated implant failures and other groups. If the physical condition is not suitable, then even if you have done the third generation of IVF, then it is difficult to succeed.
