Pioneer of Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)

Genesis Genetics Institute is the pioneer of pre-implantation testing of embryos for inherited genetic abnormalities. Founded by world renowned scientist Dr. Mark Hughes MD, PhD., one of the original scientists working on the National Institutes of Health’s Human Genome Project, Dr. Hughes’ team was largely responsible for discovering pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) as a clinical practice and performed the first successful cases in the world.

To date, Genesis Genetics has performed thousands of cases of PGD and is recognized as the leader in the industry and for couples seeking to build their families through the miracle of PGD. We work with hundreds of IVF clinics both domestically and internationally, and are the most trusted laboratory performing PGD in the world.

Our team of genetic counselors, molecular geneticists, physicians and administrative staff work closely with your reproductive doctors to fulfill our mission: helping couples build healthy families. Throughout our locations in the United States, and globally in Brazil, England, Jordan and Taiwan thousands of families have achieved this dream with our help. Their photographs cover walls and their stories inspire us.
