The Beginning of the End of Genetic Diseases

 

 

The Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Genetic Testing, a Los Angeles-based institution, is focused on the combination of reproductive medicine and genetic testing.  Our primary goal is to prevent the transmission of genetic conditions, that cause severe disease in children of parents who are either afflicted with the disease or are carriers, using a breakthrough technology called Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis - PGD.

 

PGD signals the beginning of the end for many genetic diseases. We now have the means to remove a single cell from a developing embryo, test it for a genetic abnormality, and implant only healthy embryos. The result will be the significant reduction and possibly the eradication of a genetic disease from affected families.

 

Our Institute, was founded in January, 2001, by Jaroslav J. Marik, MD, since 1971 the medical director of the Tyler Medical Clinic, one of the most noted and respected infertility clinics in the nation; and Jerry L. Hall, PhD, director of the Center for Reproductive Research and Testing in Maryland, an institution that has been involved in groundbreaking research of human reproduction.

 

We also benefit from the partnership of the Genetic Resources Medical Group, formerly DNA Dynamics, a Los Angeles-based company providing patients with genetic counseling; the UCLA Cytogenetics Department, which performs laboratory testing using using fluorescence in situ hybridization and has contributed immensely to the development of the technology used by our Institute.
