Genesis Genetics is the leading global provider of Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) - providing expert laboratory services for many of the most respected in vitro fertilization (IVF) centers across the country and throughout the world. Families affected by essentially any inherited disease can help reduce the risk their children will suffer the inherited genetic disease through the use of PGD. Even families in search of a bone marrow donor may be able to use PGD to bring a child into the world that can provide the necessary stem cells for their older sibling.
The scientists at Genesis Genetics pioneered PGD more than twenty years ago and use it today to fulfill our mission: to build healthy families. Their photographs cover our walls and their stories inspire us to help more families.
Chromosome testing of your IVF embryos has been shown to greatly improve the likelihood of pregnancy. Utilizing Genesis-24’s state of the art technology, our rapid microarray CGH technology means that embryos biopsied on day 5 can be tested overnight for all 24 chromosomes. They do not need to be frozen!
Genesis Genetics is the first and most experienced laboratory to offer this technology. A door-to-door courier delivers the biopsy samples directly to our lab while your embryos continue to safely grow in the incubator at your clinic. The chromosome results are available for you and your doctor within 24 hours of biopsy receipt.
Best of all? There is no additional charge for rapid Genesis-24 screening. Learn more about Genesis-24 here »

Please follow the Cry Family story on the blog David Cry has started. The Cry family utilized PGD technology to ensure their second son would not be devastated by ALD despite a strong family history. While not all our families are able to share their story as eloquently as the Cry family has, we know the stories are out there. We pay tribute to David, Jaymee, Logan and Brennan by sharing their story so that it may perhaps help another family. Thank you David and family for sharing.
