What is the third-generation IVF with chromosomal abnormalities?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I am 28 years old, and I have a chromosomal balanced translocation, which is a chromosomal abnormality disease. I am afraid to conceive naturally and don't know if the chromosomal abnormality third-generation culture dish can help me have a healthy child.

Doctor's answer:

General patients with balanced translocations do not typically experience recurrent malformations or intellectual disability. However, carriers can conceive normal offspring, balanced translocation carriers, malformed fetuses, or stillbirths, with each having a 1/4 probability. These outcomes are random, and the latter two often lead to miscarriage. If a chromosomal abnormality recurs, it is recommended to undergo third-party IVF treatment.
This technology can identify abnormal chromosomes through genetic testing. Before embryo transfer, genetic testing is performed on the abnormal chromosomes to select healthy embryos for implantation, enabling the creation of a healthy baby.
