NGS (Next generation DNA sequencing) Ukraine

We are happy to announce a new genetic diagnostic, that is made by the most contemporary and perspective “next-generation sequencing” method! It is based on decryption of DNA molecule fragments. The sequence of its constituent bases provides storage, transmission from generation to generation and the implementation of a genetic program for the development and functioning of the body. 

Earlier, it was found that the human genome contains 20-25 thousands of active genes, that is, only 1.5% of all genetic material. Genes are unevenly distributed to chromosomes. Each chromosome contains various gene-rich and gene-poor regions. Therefore, with the help of sequencing a new generation (NGS), it is possible to carry out an analysis of both the gene and chromosome.

Exactly this feature of the NGS allows our specialists to discover the full chromosomal complement of the embryos before they will transfer to the uterus. It helps us to find out not only the most common diseases but also very rare chromosomal disorders. 

Another important area, where we can use NGS  -invasive prenatal diagnostic. Defects of the fetus development often connected with the chromosomal anomaly. With the help of a modern NGS method, that we provide in the IGR medical center, it became possible to make a research of the fetus cells.
