The conversation took place successfully and attracted a lot of attention from doctors working in the field of assisted reproduction as well as couples who are in need of IVF. [content] =>At the talk show, Assoc.Prof.Tran Van Khoa, PhD.,MD., (Head of the Department of Biology - Genetics, Military Medical Academy), Pham Dinh Minh, PhD., (R&D Director of GENTIS - Director of GENTIS Genetic Counseling Center), Nguyen Thi Huyen, MSc.,MD. (Genetic Consultant at GENTIS Genetic Counseling Center - GENTIS R&D Specialist) shared their knowledge about PGT-M, international recommendations and the practical situation of implementing this test in Vietnam in very close and easy-to-understand real stories.
Sharing about the significance of the PGT-M test with couples who are expecting children and want to perform IVF, Assoc.Prof.Tran Van Khoa, PhD.MD. said: "PGT-M is one of the most effective, most active, and earliest preventive screening measures to prevent genetic diseases. PGT-M is also a hope for couples who are unfortunate enough to carry the disease gene and are at risk of bearing a child affected."
Pham Dinh Minh, PhD. added: "Currently, most genetic diseases, especially those caused by genetic mutations, still have no treatment, if any, the price is also very high, difficult to access, causing burdens for patients' families and society. Therefore, screening and prevention of these diseases has become very important."
It can be seen that the advancement of gene sequencing technology has brought advanced solutions that greatly help the preimplantation screening process, and PGT-M is one of the most effective and outstanding solutions.
Both Assoc. Prof. Khoa and Dr. Minh agreed that: "PGT-M is a difficult test, requiring investment in advanced scientific technologies and equipment to ensure accuracy." With a laboratory system that meets ISO 13485:2016, ISO 15189:2012 standards, along with modern machines equipped with the latest technologies, GENTIS is one of the few testing centers that can perform qualified PGT-M tests, ensuring high accuracy and optimal turnaround time. From there, it helps to screen for monogenic genetic diseases effectively and provide maximum support for reproductive support purposes.
"To ensure the most accurate PGT-M test results, it is necessary to have a combination of clinicians, genetic consultants, embryologists and testing labs. GENTIS has established the Genetic Counseling Center to support clinicians and embryologists to use and understand the test in the best way" - Dr. Minh emphasized.
"Genetic counseling is often carried out in clinics, hospitals, and centers by geneticists and assisted reproductive doctors. Genetic counseling revolves around the exchange between doctors and patients, in order to provide information for doctors to identify general and genetic risks, evaluate, consider, select appropriate tests, and find out the underlying cause of the disease. The most important thing is that the genetic counseling process must ensure that three factors are accurate, complete and most suitable for the patient. The ultimate goal is that patients can participate in the treatment process and make treatment decisions that are suitable for their family circumstances," added Nguyen Thi Huyen, MSc.MD..
In addition, Dr. Huyen and experts also answered a lot of questions from the audience about monogenic genetic diseases. These are all valuable knowledge that is summarized and explained in the most understandable way for everyone.
Hopefully, the sharing of experts in the talk show will help doctors and nurses working in the field of assisted reproduction gain a lot of useful updated knowledge. At the same time, it brings a new hope to couples who unfortunately carry the disease gene and are looking forward to having children.

GENTIS is honored to have collaborated with the workshop and presented meaningful gifts to the mothers. [content] =>he decision between vaginal birth and cesarean section (C-section) has always been a common dilemma for expectant mothers, especially for first-time mothers. To equip expectant mothers with the scientific knowledge needed for a healthy pregnancy stage and ensure a safe delivery, Thai Binh High-Quality General Hospital organized an Obstetrics Workshop on the topic: "Vaginal Birth or Cesarean Section - Why?"
The keynote speaker of the event was Specialist level 1 Tran Thi Thanh, MD., Deputy Head of the Obstetrics Department at Thai Binh Hospital. At the event, Dr. Thanh shared detailed information about the two childbirth methods (vaginal birth and C-section), providing expectant mothers with a comprehensive overview. This helped them choose the birth method most appropriate in terms of physical health for both the mother and the fetus."
According to obstetrics experts, vaginal delivery offers more benefits to both mother and baby compared to C-section. Therefore, doctors always encourage healthy pregnant women to have a vaginal delivery.
Just in cases where pregnant women have medical conditions that inhibit a vaginal birth, it is necessary to follow the advice of a specialist to ensure a healthy mother and baby. Regardless of the chosen birth method, mothers need to cooperate well with doctors during labor to ensure a smooth and safe delivery. Additionally, Dr. Thanh also emphasized the significance of newborn screening tests for babies.
Currently, newborn screening is considered the most efficient method for early abnormalities detection, allowing timely intervention to prevent complications and damage. Additionally, this test also increases survival rates, diminishes the impact of diseases, and helps prolong patient lifespan. Simultaneously, it helps to save healthcare costs by enabling early detection.
Not only did the workshop provide mothers with solid knowledge from Dr. Thanh, but it also served as a warm and intimate gathering where mothers could share their inner thoughts and hidden feelings through daily stories around their pregnancy journey. Notably, expectant mothers were able to directly ask questions and receive answers from the doctor. Hopefully, this valuable knowledge will empower mothers to feel more confident in caring for themselves and their babies.
In addition, when attending the workshop, mothers also had the opportunity to receive appealing gifts from the hospital, GENTIS and other brands. Coming to the program, GENTIS has brought valuable gifts to bring joy and meaningfulness to parents. These include adorable teddy bears and a 50% discount voucher for a newborn screening test covering 83 diseases, covering 5 center diseases (congenital hypothyroidism, G6PD deficiency, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, phenylketonuria, galactosemia), Hemoglobinopathies, as well as 77 metabolic disorders.
GENTIS would like to express our sincere gratitude to High-Quality General Hospital of Thai Binh for allowing us to partake in this meaningful event. We hope that with the speaker’s sharing, mothers would be more confident in their journey to welcoming their babies, while also having a better understanding of the importance of newborn screening. We look forward to continued support from you.

This is an inevitable trend in disease management. Based on the test results and clinical conditions of each patient, genetic counselors provide information that helps patients better understand their condition, make informed decisions, and access other necessary medical services. [content] =>The Benefits of Precision Medicine and personalized medicine in the Field of ART
Precision medicine and personalization are revolutionizing the field of ART. This approach offers numerous benefits, enabling us to treat the right patient, at the right time, with the right drug, at the right dose. As a result, it minimizes unwanted side effects and reduces unnecessary trials.
Moreover, precision medicine and personalized medicine also help to reduce treatment time and costs for patients. Patients are actively involved in their own treatment process, gaining a better understanding of their condition and participating in selecting more suitable treatment options. Additionally, the shifting from treatment to prevention, in other words, personalized medicine helps us prioritize prevention over cure.
The core of these methods lies in genetic testing. Due to advancements in technology, genetic testing has become increasingly integrated with precision medicine, making it an indispensable part of the field of assisted reproduction. Genetic testing plays a crucial role in all stages of the reproductive process, including testing related to parents, embryos, during embryo transfer, prenatal screening and diagnosis, as well as newborn screening and postnatal diagnosis.
In reproductive medicine, genetic testing is particularly conducted for three main purposes. These are identifying the causes of infertility, detecting genetic diseases that may be passed on to the child, and optimizing assisted reproductive technology (ART). Depending on the specific condition, patients may need to undergo testing at any stage of the reproductive process.
GENTIS applies the latest devices and technologies in gene sequencing to deliver valuable tests to our customers.
In Vietnam, GENTIS is a pioneer in the research and development of genetic tests for the personalization of infertility treatment. GENTIS boasts modern laboratories equipped with Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, providing accurate results for our customers.

In addition to providing genetic tests, GENTIS has established a Genetic Counseling Center to support clinicians and reproductive centers in accurately and effectively interpreting test results.
The Importance of Genetic Counseling in the Genomics Era
MSc. Nguyen Thi Huyen, M.D (R&D Specialist at GENTIS), stated: "In the Genomics era, genetic counseling is involved in all stages of the human reproductive process, from pre-pregnancy, pre-embryo transfer, prenatal, to postnatal stages. Specifically, genetic counseling helps assess the risk of genetic diseases and evaluate and determine genetic patterns for appropriate indications.
Additionally, genetic counseling aids in interpreting genetic results, assessing genetic risks for future generations, and evaluating screening in relatives. It also provides information on the benefits/limitations of genetic tests to clinicians, facilitating discussions and helping to determine more appropriate treatment options."
MSc. Nguyen Thi Huyen, M.D (GENTIS), presented at the Scientific Conference and the 2nd Congress for the 2024-2029 term.
Additionally, genetic counseling plays a crucial role in educating and supporting patients, helping them better understand their condition and make informed decisions. More importantly, it assists patients in accessing other necessary medical services when needed.
Despite its importance in the Genomics era, geneticists still face many challenges when advising patients. For instance, they must explain risks to patients who might then reconsider or lose the opportunity for embryo transfer, and they encounter limited consensus and guidelines on managing results, monitoring pregnancies after test results, and screening relatives. They also face challenges in optimizing costs and time for patients.
Therefore, it is essential to have a coordinated approach involving the expertise of clinical physicians, embryologists, laboratory technicians, and geneticists. Additionally, collaboration with obstetricians and gynecologists is necessary for optimal pregnancy management, and with pediatricians and geneticists for postnatal care.
Despite these challenges, the current achievements indicate that precision medicine and personalization are the future of the medical field, influencing genetic counseling and treatment by physicians. To stay abreast of these developments, GENTIS continuously invests in the latest gene sequencing systems for testing and assisted reproduction, aiming to research, develop, and apply genetic analysis technology in precision medicine.
