HLA Matching

HLA Matching

What is HLA?

HLA or Human leukocyte antigen is our health DNA, which is responsible for strengthening our immune system.

HLA matching is used in conjunction with PGD for healing children with genetic illnesses such as thalassemia, leukemia, Wiskott Aldrich syndrome. It is an ideal option for couples who can’t find a suitable donor in close relatives.

How HLA Matching Works?

HLA Matching works with the aid of stem cell transplantation from a sibling born out of IVF.

Couples undergo the IVF process, and a PGD (PGD (Pre Genetic Diagnostics) is done during fertilization of the embryos for checking HLA compatibility with the sick sibling.

Upon successful IVF motherhood, the stem cells from the chord of the resulting child are used to cure the sick sibling. This process is known as “HLA typing in embryos.”

Other than curing genetic conditions in siblings, HLA matching can also be used to ensure a safe and healthy IVF baby for couples carrying genetic disorders.
