Biomaterial donation has been saving lives around the world for decades. Most often we hear about the donation of bone marrow and blood components (plasma, corpuscles, whole blood). But donation of biomaterial in reproductive medicine is no less valuable and honorable.
Donor seminal fluid and oocytes (eggs) are a real salvation for patients suffering from various forms of infertility. The material can be used in IVF protocols with ICSI, fertilized with the partner’s material, using in surrogacy, and even stored for several years in a cryobank for further use.
If you are interested in biomaterial donation (as a donor or patient), MILITTA IVF Agency will provide you with everything you need. Our experienced coordinators will select the best clinics for you with their own biobanks and verified donors.
What is important for biomaterial donors to know?
A donor of reproductive biomaterial can be a person who has not only excellent physical health, but also without genetic mutations.
Indeed, despite the absence of visible manifestations of diseases or excellent knowledge of the pedigree, one cannot be sure of the hidden carriage of dangerous mutations or genetic diseases.
That is why genetic testing of biomaterial can be the best preventive measure and prognostic factor..
MILITTA IVF Agency cooperates with the best clinics and laboratories in Kyiv. Our coordinators work with both recipients (patients who need material) and donors.
We will take the solution of all organizational issues, starting with the choice of a laboratory, ending with an appointment with a doctor for a follow-up consultation.
What abnormalities are donor material examined for?
Semen and eggs are examined for the following carriers of the following diseases:
- chorea of Huntington
- hemochromatosis
- cystic fibrosis
- Gilbert’s syndrome
- Duchenne muscular dystrophy
- Martin-Bell syndrome
- phenylketonuria
- hemophilia type A
Also, karyotyping (study of the chromosomal profile) of the biomaterial is mandatory. Assessment of the quality and number of chromosomes is one of the key factors for a geneticist.
During genetic testing, the doctor makes a conclusion about the fact of the carriage of defective genes, their type and the likelihood of the manifestation of the disease in the event of a fusion with unexplored material.
MILITTA IVF Agency collaborates with the best laboratories, so you can be 100% sure of the high quality and reliability of the research.
