            [title] => Genetic Counseling in the Era of Genomics and Personalized Medicine
            [description] => Precision medicine and personalized medicine are now widely applied in the field of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) in countries with advanced healthcare systems. 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.

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.
Currently, GENTIS offers a comprehensive ecosystem of genetic tests for screening, diagnosis, and personalized medicine in the field of assisted reproduction. This includes tests for parents, embryos, the embryo transfer environment, and maternal and fetal health.
Among the notable tests are PGT-A/SR, PGT-M, PGT-Max1, ASEM Test, Karyotype, Thalassemia, Thrombophilia, Fertiscan, Ultragen, AZF, Sperm DNA, Genratest, Antiphospholipid, NIPT-basic/Geneva, and newborn screening, ... 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.

            [description] => The development of the assisted reproductive technology (ART) field has opened a new era for infertile couples. Notably, the success rate of ART techniques is greatly influenced by accompanying technologies such as embryo screening tests and ovarian rejuvenation.
            [content] => 
GENTIS constantly approaches, researches, and develops new tests, especially clinical applications in ART, to provide accurate, fast, and effective results to help clinicians best treat patients.
Prof. Dr. Nguyen Dinh Tao - Chairman of Hanoi Association of ART
At the 2nd Scientific Conference and Congress for the 2024-2029 term held on March 24, leading experts updated the latest scientific information in the field of ART.  A highlight was the presentation by MSc. Nguyen Quang Vinh (Director of GENTIS Laboratory Center) on the topic "Application of PGT-Max 1 test in screening embryos carrying common microdeletions."
According to MSc. Vinh, PGT-Max 1 is a breakthrough improvement over conventional preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). The advantage of this test is that, in addition to being able to detect aneuploidy of 24 chromosomes, chromosomal structural abnormalities (microdeletions, duplications) with a size of more than 5Mb, and mosaic embryos (20% - 80%), it can also detect additional chromosomal structural abnormalities with a smaller size of more than 2Mb related to some common genetic diseases/syndromes such as:

22q11.2 deletion (associated with DiGeorge syndrome)
1p36 deletion (associated with 1p36 deletion syndrome)
Some other common microdeletions/microduplications

MSc. Nguyen Quang Vinh (Director of GENTIS Laboratory Center) presents on the topic "Application of PGT-Max1 test in screening embryos carrying common microdeletions."
GENTIS has successfully optimized and applied the PGT-Max 1 test on embryos for many infertile couples wishing to have children. Thanks to the PGT-MAX 1 test, doctors and experts can select embryos with good genetic quality, increasing the chances of pregnancy when performing in vitro fertilization (IVF), helping children to be born healthy and free from screened genetic abnormalities.
At GENTIS, the PGT-MAX 1 test is performed on the most advanced technologies such as NGS sequencers from Illumina USA, specialized bioinformatics software with the highest sensitivity and specificity of up to 99.9%,... "In the future, GENTIS will constantly improve and update new services in the field of assisted reproduction, helping to meet the needs of doctors and help many couples with genetic diseases to give birth to healthy children," MSc. Vinh shared.
According to experts, genetic testing is indispensable in assisted reproduction. However, not all clinicians have in-depth expertise in genetics. Therefore, it is difficult to advise patients to understand the method and limitations of genetic testing, explain cases of unsuccessful implementation, or advise on results after implementation, etc.
Therefore, the combination of clinicians, testing labs, and geneticists is essential to provide the best advice to patients. These issues were clearly shared by Nguyen Thi Huyen, MSc. MD. in the presentation "Genetic counseling in the era of Genomics and personalized treatment."
In the field of ART, genetic counseling plays an extremely important role. Accordingly, geneticists will calculate genetic risks, explain the inheritance pattern of the disease, advise on the principles, advantages, and limitations of testing methods, interpret test results, etc. Thereby, raising awareness and understanding of patients about their genetic risks and making decisions that are beneficial to themselves and their families. 
Nguyen Thi Huyen, MSc. MD. presents the report "Genetic counseling in the era of Genomics and personalized treatment"
Most importantly, it supports and advises clinicians, helping them to make the best testing and treatment decisions for patients. "With the mission of 'Improving the physical and intellectual well-being of Vietnamese people,' GENTIS always focuses on researching and developing genetic tests serving precision medicine... Thereby bringing modern solutions, accompanying and supporting doctors in taking care of the health of the community," MSc. Huyen shared.
Besides, the topic "Ovarian rejuvenation with platelet-rich plasma" by Dr. Dang Vinh Dung (108 Military Central Hospital) is also one of the issues of interest to many experts. According to Dr. Dung, the clinical application of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has increased markedly in the past decade. PRP therapy is widely used in various fields of medicine, including assisted reproduction. PRP is produced from autologous blood samples with the advantages of being easy to perform, limiting the risk of infectious diseases, and immune reactions.
Dr. Dang Vinh Dung (108 Military Central Hospital) presents the report "Ovarian rejuvenation with platelet-rich plasma"
PRP therapy is a promising treatment option for women who want to restore or improve ovarian function and rejuvenation. The application of platelet-rich plasma to rejuvenate the ovaries has been applied in the world for about 2-3 years, especially in the last year, there have been many documents talking about this issue and showing very clear results. Dr. Dung also highly appreciated the effectiveness of the PRP IVF kit used to separate platelet-rich plasma that GENTIS is providing.
Through the reports at the 2nd Scientific Conference and Congress for the 2024-2029 term, GENTIS hopes to have contributed to providing useful knowledge for doctors and experts in the field of assisted reproduction as well as families wishing to have children. With over 13 years of experience, GENTIS will always develop, innovate, and update the best testing services to customers and partners for the mission of improving the physical and intellectual well-being of Vietnamese people.

            [title] => ASEM Test - A Valuable Tool in Assisted Reproduction
            [description] => In vitro fertilization (IVF) is currently recognized as one of the most effective and widely used treatments for infertility. To support this technique, numerous new technologies have been developed and applied in clinical practice. Among these, the Analysis of Spent Embryo Medium (ASEM) test, which analyzes the DNA present in the embryo culture medium, has garnered significant attention. This method has been shown to significantly improve pregnancy rates, increase the success of IVF, and reduce the risk of miscarriage.

            [content] => 
Overview of the ASEM Test
Chromosomal aneuploidy is a relatively common condition in human embryos, with rates ranging from 20% to 80% depending on maternal age. Approximately 10% of clinical pregnancies are found to have triploidy or monosomy, and this rate can rise to 50% in older pregnant women. Aneuploidy can lead to implantation failure or be a major cause of recurrent miscarriage.
The ASEM test evaluates the chromosomal genetic status of embryos through the embryo culture medium. 
Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A) is currently recommended for couples undergoing IVF to select embryos without chromosomal aneuploidy for transfer. 
PGT-A has been shown to increase successful embryo transfer rates, shorten the time to conception through euploid embryo transfer, and reduce the number of transfers, miscarriage rates, and overall costs, especially in older women. To perform PGT-A, embryo biopsy is required to obtain the necessary material for testing.
In contrast, the ASEM test (Analysis of Spent Embryo Medium) assesses the chromosomal genetic status of embryos through the embryo culture medium without requiring an embryo biopsy. The ASEM test is based on the presence of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the culture medium. Studies have shown that blastocyst culture medium can be used to evaluate the genetic status of embryos.
Advantages of the ASEM Test
Because the ASEM test is performed on the embryo culture medium, it is non-invasive and safe. 
Unlike traditional methods that require embryo biopsy, the ASEM test offers several notable advantages:

Reduced Costs: It eliminates the need for equipment investment for embryo biopsy and the requirement for skilled embryologists to perform the biopsy.
Non-Invasive: The ASEM test does not disturb the embryo, which is particularly beneficial for poorly developing embryos where biopsy could be detrimental. It allows for the assessment of chromosomal aneuploidy before embryo transfer without invasive procedures.
Useful in Certain Situations: In cases where embryo biopsy for PGT-A cannot be performed for various reasons, the ASEM test provides valuable genetic information about the embryo.

The Role of the ASEM Test in Assisted Reproduction
The ASEM test represents a breakthrough in genetic diagnosis and is a valuable tool in the field of assisted reproduction. When combined with morphological evaluation, it helps select embryos with the best potential for transfer in cases where embryo biopsy for PGT-A is not feasible. The goal is to increase the success rates of embryo transfers and reduce miscarriage rates for infertile couples.
ASEM Testing at GENTIS

GENTIS is the first institution in Vietnam to implement and offer the ASEM test. Mr. Nguyen Quang Vinh, MSc, Director of the GENTIS Testing Center, stated: "GENTIS continues to research and evaluate the effectiveness of the ASEM test to improve the quality of IVF/ICSI cycles, with the aim of enhancing successful embryo transfer rates."
To assess the clinical effectiveness of the ASEM test, GENTIS has collaborated with several hospitals and assisted reproduction centers nationwide. Notably, GENTIS and Hanh Phuc International Hospital conducted a study titled "Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Genetic Analysis of Embryo Culture Medium." 
The study compared clinical outcomes between two groups: one that selected embryos for transfer based solely on morphological evaluation (control group) and another that used both morphological evaluation and ASEM test results (study group). The study found live birth rates of 38.6% in the control group and 41.1% in the study group. Additionally, the miscarriage rate in the study group was 0% (no miscarriages were recorded) compared to 12.9% in the control group.
These preliminary findings suggest that the ASEM test has the potential to increase live birth rates and significantly reduce miscarriage rates. This is crucial in preventing the physical and emotional trauma associated with miscarriage.
The initial successes of the ASEM test further solidified GENTIS’s leading position in the field of genetic analysis in Vietnam. GENTIS hopes that the ASEM test will become a routine clinical practice in hospitals and IVF centers worldwide, bringing joy and happiness to couples of reproductive age who need medical assistance to conceive and give birth to healthy babies.
