Fertility Vitamin Screening
Increasing evidence highlights the significant role of certain vitamins in both male and female fertility. Testing for Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, and folic acid is essential, as their deficiency has been shown to lead to reduced quantity and quality of sperm.
What is Included
Karyotype
ΑWe evaluate the number and structure (size and shape) of the chromosomes in peripheral blood cells. Abnormalities in the karyotype are often the genetic cause of infertility and/or recurrent miscarriages.
DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI)
The percentage of spermatozoa with damaged DNA is determined using the TUNEL method, which is the most reliable technique for this purpose. These spermatozoa have undergone cell death processes and either may not be able to fertilize the egg, or if fertilization occurs, the embryo may fail to implant or lead to miscarriage. Increased levels of fragmented DNA will negatively affect the chance of achieving pregnancy naturally.
